| The
fresno (pronounced:
frez noh) chili
is somewhat similar to a jalapeno
chili, but less meaty and with
thinner skins. Unripe bright green or yellow fresnos are not quite
as hot as the fully matured ripe red ones. Fresno
chilies have a conical shape about 50 mm long and 25 mm in diameter at
the stem end. Fresno
chiles are generally only used fresh, as they do not dry well. They are often pickled and canned or bottled. The fresno chili rates between 2,500 and 5,000 Shu's on the Scoville scale. | |||||||||||||||||||||
