Small, mild Japanese pepper for roasting, pan-frying, and grilling. Shishitos are gaining in popularity and recognition in newspapers and food magazines across the country.
These compact bushy plants yield impressive, continual harvests of lime green mild peppers, traditionally used in Japanese cuisine. Thin walls blister and char easily when roasted or grilled, taking on a rich flavor that is delicious with coarse salt and lemon juice. Typically harvested and used green, but eventually turns orange and red with a sweeter flavor. Prolific! 65 days
