      Edit: incorrect, I must just have never had a good Serrano

      Serrano has always been milder though. Shit, last time I bought some habs from a regular store they were mild enough for a midwestern child who’s yet to learn ranch is optional

        In my experience, Serranos have always been about twice as spicy as Jalapenos. Maybe I've just gotten some seed-packed scorchers?

          I looked it up, they max out several times higher. I must just be in a region with incredibly mid Serrano supply

        Most grocery stores are terrible about having properly ripe peppers and the flavor and heat levels suffer for it. Serranos are a common victim of this as are the habaneros you mentioned.
