Padrones, also known as Padrón peppers, are small, green peppers originally from the Padrón region in Galicia, Spain. Typically less than 3 inches long, they are a staple of Spanish tapas cuisine and can be grilled, sautéed, or roasted. Most Padrones are mild, but occasionally one may surprise with a more intense heat. Nutritionally, they are low in calories, rich in vitamins such as C and A, and provide fiber, benefiting overall health. Their antioxidants may help combat inflammation and support immunity. Padrones are often prepared with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, enhancing flavor but moderately increasing sodium and fat content, depending on the serving. Their simplicity makes them a healthy snacking option if enjoyed in balanced portions, but mindful seasoning is key to keeping them nutritious.
