Organic Padron Frying Pepper
65 days to harvest
Capsicum annuum
Description
HEIRLOOM Shishitos are lovely but pass the Padrons, please! The Spanish have prized Padrons pan-fried as tapas since the 1600s. Since they’re harvest as young 1-2″ green peppers, Padrons are almost ridiculously prolific. Though harvested young to avoid the searing heat, 1 in 20 strikes with serious heat for a game of roulette we adore, solong as there is enough aioli! If you let them ripen red, Organic Padron Frying Pepper makes an incredibly flavorful lacto-fermented pepper relish and hot pepper jelly.
