Shishito Pepper seeds

Looking for a high-yielding, crowd-pleasing pepper that is as fun to eat as it is to grow? Meet the Shishito. This Japanese heirloom produces slender, wrinkled, finger-length fruits that transition from a vibrant lime green to a deep red. Renowned for its thin skin and sweet, smoky flavor, the Shishito has become a staple in "farm-to-table" cuisine. It is incredibly prolific, often providing a continuous harvest from mid-summer right up until the first frost.
 
The Shishito is famous for providing a bit of "culinary roulette." While most of the peppers are mild and sweet, about one in every ten packs a surprising—but manageable—punch of heat. They are best enjoyed blistered in a hot pan with a splash of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Whether you are an experienced gardener or a beginner, these compact, sturdy plants are a rewarding addition to any raised bed or patio container.
