In the pic: normalish serrano, chicken egg for reference…behemoth serrano.
I only ever see this in the US. Familiar peppers turned into massive mutant versions of themselves. I've even seen habaneros three times there normal. Wish I had a pic of those monsters.
In Texas people started stuffing and wrapping jalapeños so now there are gigantic jalapeños but serranos??
The massive size is all you get. Volume. The heat is nearly non existent. Basically crunchy water.
Is this a Texas thing or is it all over the US? The gargantification of beloved peppers.

I loved that show growing up!
I got some of these at Whole Foods up here in Seattle maybe a month ago purely because they were so outlandishly big. They tasted fine, but not nearly the same level of heat as you’d expect from a normal sized one. I ended up slicing them up and pickling them with a bunch of other less spicy peppers and they were great as always.
