Fresno peppers are a medium-sized chili variety named after Fresno, California, and are often mistaken for jalapeños due to their similar appearance. However, they have thinner walls, mature more quickly, and develop a brighter, fruitier flavor. While generally slightly hotter than jalapeños, Fresno peppers range from about 2,500 to 10,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). When harvested green, they offer a milder heat with a more vegetal taste, but as they ripen to red, they become hotter, sweeter, and noticeably more fruity.
