Oh my, shishito peppers are so yummy! I had them a few times at a restaurant and decided that I had to start growing them!Â
Features:
1) Shishitos are sweet with a smoky flavor.
2) They are in the range of 50 to 200 on the Scoville heat range which means that they are mild. Once in a while you will get one pepper packing a tiny bit of heat. Rumor has it that one out of 10 shishitos will be hot. How mysterious!
3) Shishito plants will reach about 3 feet tall and are very prolific. We harvest them almost every day.
4) The peppers will get up to 4 inches longs – cute and petite! The best time to harvest them is when they are a bright green.
5) The seeds are open pollinated so you can save the seeds for next year.
6) Shishito peppers are fantastic grilled and sauteed!
