Developed in 1952 by Clarence Brown Hamlin in Fresno, California. Resembles a red jalapeño but with thinner walls and slightly fruitier flavor. Ripens from green to red; often sold red at markets. Popular in salsa and pico de gallo. Named for the city of Fresno where it was bred. Heat 2,500–10,000 SHU — similar to a jalapeño but typically a bit hotter when red-ripe.
