Shishito is a Japanese frying pepper with thin wrinkled pods that are usually harvested green and blistered in a hot pan. Most fruit are mild, but an occasional pod can surprise with heat. The plants are productive and useful for repeated harvests, making them a strong choice for gardeners who want a fast kitchen pepper. Pick young green pods for the classic frying stage, or let some ripen red for seed and flavour comparison.

Origin and history

Shishito is a Japanese/East Asian Capsicum annuum pepper type; the name is commonly connected to the fruit tip shape.
