Organic Mellow Star - Spicy Shishito Pepper Seeds for Gourmet Cooking

Traditional Japanese shishito pepper.

The average size of the heavily wrinkled fruits ranges from 3 1/2 to 4 inches. These peppers feature thin walls and are mild (without any heat) when harvested green, transforming into a slightly sweet flavor as they ripen to red. They are a favorite in Japan due to their delicate texture, making them ideal for tempura preparation. Additionally, these peppers shine when roasted, stir-fried, or sautéed. In many Asian culinary traditions, they are typically cooked while still green; however, they can also be enjoyed in their red state. When sliced thinly, the red peppers add a delightful touch to salads and coleslaw. The large upright plants yield abundantly over an extended harvest period.
