Chilli Pepper Padron is perfect for those who love a touch of spice without overwhelming heat, Padron is an easy-to-grow variety ideal for home gardeners. Harvest early, prepare fresh, and enjoy a piece of authentic Spanish cuisine!
A staple in traditional Spanish tapas. This variety, originating from the municipality of Padrón in Galicia, Spain, is known for its mildly spicy flavour, making it perfect for snacking, grilling, or sautéing.
Padron produces conical, slightly wrinkled peppers with a long, curved stalk. These fruits are best harvested when green and immature, typically measuring between 3-5 cm in length and 2-2.5 cm in width.
When picked early, the peppers offer a delightful balance of sweetness and mild spice, with only a small percentage of them being hot. However, if left to mature beyond 5 cm, the peppers develop a more intense pungency, reaching a lowly Scoville rating of up to 5,000.
