Hidalgo Chile Pepper

Originally from Mexico and Central America, the Hidalgo Chile is similar to the Serrano and just as hot. A productive plant, it has fuzzy green stems, fuzzy green leaves, and white flowers. Peppers are hot and turn from dark green to red when mature with a thick, shiny red skin.

CULINARY USES: The Hidalgo pepper is great for pickling. It can be added to many dishes for a spicy kick. Great in salsa or sauces as well.
