I used one of my Padron peppers in a meal today, which turned out to be a lot hotter than I was expecting! I looked them up online and it stated that one of their characteristics is that about 20% of chillies are hotter than the usually mild fruits, and it depends on how you water them.?
Apparently if you just water the soil, you get mild chillies, but if you water the whole plant, leaves and fruits the chillies are much hotter? I'd never heard of this before, and don't understand how that would make a difference, can anyone explain please?
