Approximately 15 Padrón pepper seeds. Padrón peppers are small, about 2 inches (5 cm) long and have an elongated shape. They are often picked, sold and eaten unripe, when they are still green, small and immature. The taste is mild, but some can be quite hot. This property has given rise to the popular Galician aphorism “Os pementos de Padrón, uns pican e outros non” (“Padrón peppers, some are hot, some are not”). Drought-stressed plants tend to produce hotter peppers. Like several other peppers, Padrón peppers become spicier as they mature. Their ripe colour is red.
Padrón peppers are picked when immature and green.
