Description:

Shishito Peppers are a staple in Japanese cuisine and are now becoming very popular in the U.S. You can get your hands on these pepper seedlings and grow them into 3 ft. tall plants that produce high yields of these 3-4" thin-walled pods. Shishito peppers have very wrinkly skin, thin walls, and an elongated shape, maturing from green to red, with a sweeter taste when it ripens to red. What's interesting about these mild peppers is that they have a Russian Roulette tendency where only one out of every 10-20 peppers will shockingly surprise you with incredible heat! Enjoy sweet, citrusy, and smoky flavors that get enhanced by grilling or sauteing. For a delicious treat, sauté these in olive oil until they begin to blister, sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy! The Shishito chile is the pinnacle of appetizers and is often a popular starter in restaurants.

SHISHITO!!

Our seedlings are making progress and we are excited to see when they flower. Winter is coming, so we are working hard to give them as much sun. Can't wait to get our first batch of peppers! This seedling has been the most progressive out of all seedlings that we have purchased with Pepper Joe's. I definitely recommend seeds to start off.
