Coming soon!

A Mild, Flavorful, and Addictive Delicacy!

The Shishito Pepper is a mild, thin-walled Japanese pepper known for its sweet, slightly smoky flavor and occasional surprise heat—about one in ten has a mild kick! These small, wrinkled peppers are best enjoyed blistered in a hot pan, grilled, or added to stir-fries, making them a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike. The plants are vigorous and highly productive, yielding an abundance of bright green peppers that ripen to red if left on the plant. If you love easy-to-grow, versatile peppers with a unique twist, Shishito is a must-have for your garden!
