Picture and text from Refinning Fire Chiles website. “Pico de Gallo-(Capsicum annuum)-When you hear this name you think of the chopped salsa of onions, tomato, chile and cilantro often served on the side with your Mexican food. But Pico de Gallo is also the name of a chile from the State of Sonora, Mexico that is used in making fresh salsa. Similar in heat to a serrano of chile de Arbol it heats up quick but fades fast. It has a fresh fruitiness and will add much flavor to any dish you cook. The Pico de Gallo peppers are slender and are under a 1/4 inch wide and 2 to 3 inches in length. They ripen from green to red. The Pico de Gallo chile plants grow over 4 feet tall.”
