Tomatillo
£2.00
A tomatillo is a small, tart, husk-covered fruit from the Physalis philadelphica plant, widely used in Mexican cooking—especially in salsa verde. It looks like a green tomato wrapped in a papery lantern-like husk, but it’s not a tomato and isn’t interchangeable with one.
- A member of the nightshade family, related to tomatoes and peppers.
- Native to Mexico and Central America.
- Firm, dense flesh with a naturally high acidity (around pH 3.8), which helps sauces stay bright even after long cooking.
Tomatillos are known for their tangy, citrusy, slightly sour flavour.
Common tasting notes include:
- Lemon or lime–like acidity
- Green apple or unripe tomato tartness
- A hint of green pepper
- When raw: crisp, bright, and sharply tart
- When cooked: mellower, sweeter, and more rounded in flavour

You may now preorder fresh Biquinho chilies from our Cornish farm, since our UK-grown chillies will soon be in season. These unique, sweet, and mildly flavoured chillies are perfect for pickling, garnishing dishes, or adding a gentle heat to your favourite recipes.
Chillies ripen at different times depending on their heat level and the weather – the sunnier it is, the quicker they mature. Here’s a rough guide to when each type will be ready:
Mild & Medium (including Biquinho) – Available late June/July
Hot – Expected July/August
Superhot – Ready around August/September
To guarantee optimal freshness in a single delivery, we ship all varieties together once everything is ready.
Want your mild or medium varieties, like Biquinho chillies, earlier? Just place separate orders for each heat level.

The Apricot Habanero is a variety of habanero chili pepper known for its bright orange-apricot colour, fruity aroma, and a sweet, tropical flavour that’s quickly followed by intense heat. It’s often described as having a citrus-like tang with floral undertones, making it popular in hot sauces, salsas, and marinades where both flavour and fire are desired.
Apricot Habaneros typically range between 100,000 and 350,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units), placing them firmly in the very hot category — several times hotter than a jalapeño.

The friggitello is a classic Italian sweet pepper, often called the Italian frying pepper. It’s typically harvested while still green and has a sweet, slightly tangy flavor with just a hint of bitterness. The flesh is thin-walled, making it quick to cook—especially when fried whole in olive oil, which is the traditional preparation in Tuscany.
On the Scoville scale, friggitello peppers range from 0 to 500 SHU, meaning they are very mild and often perceived as having no heat at all. There’s also a Greek variety that’s a bit sweeter and commonly used in salads or pickled.

Padrón peppers are small, green Spanish chilli peppers, typically about 5 cm (2 in) long with a slightly wrinkled, elongated shape. They’re most often harvested while still unripe and green, giving them a mild, slightly grassy flavour with a hint of nuttiness when cooked.
Their charm lies in the “pepper lottery” — while most are mild, a few can surprise you with noticeable heat. On the Scoville scale, they range from 500 to 2,500 SHU, meaning most are about as mild as a banana pepper, but the hotter ones can approach the lower end of a jalapeño’s heat.
They’re traditionally pan-fried in olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt, making them a popular Spanish tapas dish.

Kashmiri Chili (Kashmiri Mirch): A popular spice in Indian cooking, prized for its vivid red color and mild heat.
On the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) scale, it typically measures 1,000–2,000 SHU, making it far milder than many other chillies but excellent for adding colour and gentle warmth to dishes.

A poblano pepper is a large, heart-shaped chilli originating from Mexico, known for its mild heat and rich, earthy flavour with subtle sweetness. They typically measure 4–5 inches long and 2–3 inches wide, with thick, dark green skin that turns red or brown as it ripens.
On the Scoville Heat Scale, poblanos range from 1,000 to 2,000 SHU, making them much milder than jalapeños (2,500–8,000 SHU). When dried, they become ancho chillies, which have a deeper, slightly smoky taste and are often used in sauces, stews, and mole.
They’re versatile—great for stuffing, roasting, grilling, or blending into sauces—and offer warmth without overwhelming spice.
