Padrón peppers are small, green and have a conical shape. The most curious aspect is that only a few taste really hot. Before eating them, it is impossible to detect the hottest ones as they all have the same size, shape and colour. The spicy taste is due to an accumulation of capsaicin during the ripening process. The uncertainty of not knowing whether or not a pepper will be hot makes these peppers original.

The nutritional value of Padrón peppers is very similar to green peppers. They are mainly composed of water, so they have low calorie content.

Hot peppers have been unfairly accused of harming our stomachs, although they are becoming increasingly popular in Spain.

They are a rich source of vitamin C and they cause the brain to release endorphins, just like chocolate, pain or excitement. Peppers are hot due to capsaicin, which has an analgesic effect and can induce a feeling of well-being.
