Shishito is a popular Japanese heirloom pepper, known for its mild heat and thin walls. The peppers are about 3-4 inches long, wrinkled, and typically harvested green, though they turn red when fully ripe. With a Scoville rating of 100 to 500 units, they are mostly sweet, but about 1 in 10 can surprise with a mild kick of heat. Shishito peppers are commonly grilled, blistered, or sautéed, making them a favorite for appetizers and side dishes. The plants are highly productive, with peppers maturing in around 60-75 days.
