🌶️ Pimientos de Padrón - Seeds

The Pimientos de Padrón are small, green chili peppers with a mild flavor - at least most of the time! Because as the saying goes: "Unos pican y otros no" - "Some are hot, some are not." Traditionally grown in Galicia, these peppers are a classic in Spanish tapas cuisine and are most often sautéed briefly in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt.

🫑 Characteristics:

• Small, wrinkled green peppers (5-8 cm)

• Harvest young for mild flavor, ripen to red as they linger

• Spiciness: mild to moderate (mostly mild, occasionally sharp)

• Flavorful, tender and ideal for baking or grilling

• Traditional Spanish variety, very productive

🌱 Cultivation information:

• Height: 60-80 cm

• Harvest: July to October (green or red)
