Padron
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.

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
