Description
Often confused with jalapenos, Fresno peppers are milder and taste smoky-sweet when cooked. Mature cone-shaped fruits are 1 1/2″- 2″ long and bright red. Their thin walls make them a poor choice for drying. Scoville Heat Units: 2,500-8,000
Unless you live in a year-round warm climate, start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Keep soil temperature warm (75-80°F) for best germination. Harden off young plants ten days before transplanting and plant outdoors after last spring frost. Harvest peppers when they are bright red and fully ripe for best flavor.
Capsicum annuum
