Padron pepper

The Padron pepper—also known as the chili pepper—is an indispensable flavour booster in the kitchen. It’s recognisable by its pointed shape, smooth skin and fairly high ranking on the Scoville scale. With its fiery kick and fresh, slightly sweet taste, it’s a delicious addition to sauces, stews, soups or marinades.

Care
