Padr�n peppers

Of Galician origin and popular throughout the country, these peppers are characterized by their small size, green color and conical shape. Their most curious aspect is the intense spicy flavor that only some of them have, hence the saying that "Padrón peppers some are hot and some are not". It is something that cannot be appreciated until they are tasted, since there are no differences between them. These peppers have a nutritional value very similar to that of green peppers. Their main component is water, so their caloric value is minimal. However, if they are fried in abundant oil, the calories increase, not because of the peppers, but because of the absorption of oil.

Raw, these peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C, but this is not the usual way to consume them. Fried or grilled they lose much of it. It highlights its content in vitamin A and E, among its minerals abound in potassium and magnesium

It is recommended not to consume these peppers to people with a delicate stomach because, although not all of them sting, the chances that some of them do so are high
