It has a<br \/>\nspindle shape with longitudinal grooves that give it a wrinkled appearance after<br \/>\nfrying. Flowering is abundant and the fruits are harvested while still immature.<br \/>\nIt has a predominantly sweet flavour, but about 10% of the fruits are<br \/>\nspicy, which gave rise to the popular Galician saying: &#8220;Pementos de Padr\u00f3n, uns<br \/>\npican e outros non&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12pt 0cm;text-align: justify\"><b><span style=\"color: black;font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">Care<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12pt 0cm;text-align: justify\"><b><span style=\"color: black;font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">Light:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: black;font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">  Requires full sun, ideally 6 to 8 hours of direct light per day.<br \/>\nIn partial shade, flowering and development may be reduced.<br \/><b>Temperature:<\/b> Needs moderate to high heat, between 20 \u00b0C and 30 \u00b0C.<br \/>\nSensitive to intense cold or frost, which slows growth.<br \/><b>Watering:<\/b> Moist but well-drained soil; avoid waterlogging.<br \/><b>Humidity:<\/b> Adapts better in less dry environments.
