Shishito Pepper

$ 2.50

60-80 days. Small, mild Japanese pepper for roasting, pan-frying and grilling.

Thin walls blister and char easily when roasted or grilled, taking on rich flavor that is delicious with coarse salt and lemon juice. Pepper lore has it that the occasional fruit will display heat. Typically harvested and used green, but eventually turns orange and red with sweeter flavor. Prolific!


Contains 20 heirloom seeds

Great appetizer!

Not usually hot, time of year seems to make a difference in spiciness of these peppers.
Even people who claim not to like hot peppers, loved these when blistered & salted.
Prolific producer. Some frost tolerance. Still learning more there :)
