Overview
Spanish Spice is a hybrid frying pepper from Carolina Seeds that sits between sweet and hot, with mild pungency in tapered, thin-walled, dark green fruit about 7 inches (170 mm) long that ripens red. Upright plants set fruit continuously through the season and resist tobacco mosaic virus. The thin walls make it a natural for quick frying and blistering, like a larger padron with a bit of heat.
