Experience the unique flavor of Padron Hot Peppers, famous in Spain and now available to grow in your own garden. These organic, non-GMO seeds produce compact plants yielding abundant small peppers with a fascinating flavor profile: harvest at 1-1.5 inches for consistently mild, slightly sweet peppers, or allow them to mature to 2-3 inches for reliably hot fruit. The variety's signature characteristic—approximately 1 in 20 peppers naturally developing significant heat when picked small—creates an element of culinary surprise that has made Padrons a beloved tapas staple across Spain for generations. Padron peppers excel when sautéed briefly in olive oil with sea salt, their thin walls blistering quickly and their flesh becoming tender and slightly charred. This preparation method highlights their delicate flavor and makes them ideal for appetizers, side dishes, or casual snacking. The peppers' versatility extends to roasting, grilling, and pickling applications, offering multiple ways to preserve and enjoy your harvest. Maturing in approximately 60 days, these plants produce continuously throughout the season, providing extended harvests for experimentation and enjoyment. These seeds have been organically grown without synthetic inputs, supporting both personal health and environmental stewardship. With a germination rate of 70% or better, each packet of 25 seeds establishes reliably and produces vigorous plants. Our sustainable, non-GMO seeds arrive in environmentally friendly, reusable, recyclable, and climate-conscious packaging. Whether you're seeking an authentic Spanish heirloom with proven culinary appeal or simply exploring peppers beyond standard heat levels, Padron delivers distinctive character and reliable performance.
