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. With this years heat waves, the plants have suffered some ‘heat stress’ and our Padron Peppers seem to be generally more spicier than usual.
They’re traditionally pan-fried in olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt, making them a popular Spanish tapas dish.

The Hot Chocolate habanero is a very hot chilli pepper with a rich brown colour, smoky flavour, and intense heat ranging from 300,000 to 577,000 Scoville Heat Units.
It gets its name from its deep chocolate-brown pod, not because it tastes like chocolate, though it is famously paired with cocoa in spicy treats and hot chocolate.
Flavour Notes: Deep, smoky, earthy, and rich with a slow-building heat.

Bird’s eye chillies are small, intensely hot peppers, measuring about 2–4 centimeters in length, with heat levels of 50,000–100,000 Scoville Heat Units and a bright, slightly fruity flavour ideal for Southeast Asian cuisines.
Their SHU range of 50,000–100,000 places it well above jalapeños (2,500–8,000 SHU) and cayenne (30,000–50,000 SHU), but below habaneros (100,000–350,000 SHU) and ghost peppers (855,000–1,041,427 SHU)

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.
Tomatillos are known for their tangy, citrusy, slightly sour flavour.
