I got this at the farmers market. I know they're hot peppers, but what kind? Serrano? I asked what kind, but it was super smoky out and I had 2 layers of masks and no one could understand each other

. I'm going to dry and powder them.

They look larger than serranos, which are usually around 2", and also darker green than that, though I really can't tell, since I don't know the size of anything in the photo to reference. Looks more like some Numex type, which are many sizes, as well as heats, though usually milder than serranos.

Sorry, they're small, around 2". Size reminded me of serranos, but I don't know peppers.

OK - on the hand it does look more like a serrano, fatter than the chile de árbol. Sometimes things like that will ripen, if left on the plant when totally green, but you can also dry them green, and grind them - the Indians have a nickname for this - "white" chili powder. I do this with all of my Thai, and similar type peppers at the end of the season.
