Padron Chilli Seeds (10 seeds)

Padrón

Heat: Mild (2,000–7,000 SHU)

70 Days. A classic Capsicum annuum from the northwestern Spain, where it has been grown since Franciscan monks brought it from the Americas in the 16th century. Padrón is one of Spain's most beloved tapas ingredients — the small, wrinkled green pods are blistered whole in a hot pan with olive oil and finished with coarse sea salt, a dish as simple as it is iconic. Most pods are mild and slightly sweet when harvested young at around 5 cm, but canl carry a genuine hit of heat.

Compact, productive plants grow 50–70 cm tall and crop heavily throughout the season in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.

Harvest: Pick green at around 5 cm for traditional mild flavour, or allow to ripen for more heat.
Flavour: Mild, slightly sweet, and delicious pan-fried with salt — with the a spicy surprise.
