Serrano (capsicum)
Serrano est grex varietatum calidiorum (Sco. 7,000-25,000) capsicorum, speciei capsico annuo attributus, in Mexico ad coquendum embammaque guacamole conficiendum adhibitus.

Fructus cylindricus ad apicem constrictus, inter 3 cm et 5 cm longus, diametro fere 1 cm, inter calidiores aestimatus, cortice tenui nitido, carne duriore, venis interioribus calidissimis gustu. Lentius rubescit: viridis autem et immaturus comedi solet (unde nomen vulgare Mexicanum chile verde). Varietas in montibus civitatum Angelorum, Hidalgi, Mexici a principio culta est (unde nomen commune serrano "montanum").

Fructus virides aut secti aut contusi in guacamole et salsis  immittuntur; saepe autem in familiis Mexicanis fructus crudi in mensam apponuntur ut convivae gradatim inter buccellas ciborum comedant. Modo haud dissimili, si fructus integri cum ferculo concoquuntur (per exemplum cum , iuscello pullino, carnibus assatis) in fine extrahuntur et separatim convivis offeruntur. Fructus plurimi conduntur et per Mexicum venditantur sub nominibus serranos en escabeche, serranos encurtidos, serranos en rajas aliisque: fructus conditi in pastillis et acetariis immitti solent. Rarius siccantur: fructus sicci in civitate Verae Crucis chile pico de pájaro vel chile santa María nuncupantur.
