The Yellow Fresno is an exceptional variety of hot pepper that offers a unique combination of bright color and bold flavor. Known for its transformation from green to vibrant yellow as it matures, this chili pepper is a visual and culinary treat. Named after Fresno, California — the birthplace of its original red counterpart — this pepper is a testament to the rich farming history of its region.
