Padrón peppers are small, bright green Spanish chili peppers known for their famously unpredictable heat: most are mild and sweet with a nutty flavor, but about one in ten can be surprisingly spicy, leading to the saying, "some are hot, some are not". They are typically 2-4 inches long, have a conical shape, and are often sautéed in olive oil with sea salt as a popular tapas dish, though they can also be eaten raw or pickled. 

Padrón peppers (Pimientos de Padrón) originate from the town of Padrón in Galicia, Spain, where Franciscan monks cultivated them from seeds brought from the Americas in the 16th century, creating a unique landrace variety known for its mild, sweet flavor with occasional spicy surprises, served fried with salt as a popular tapa.

Texture: Thin skin, waxy, with a slightly crinkled or lobed appearance.
