These plants yield abundant harvests of mild Japanese peppers, perfect for roasting, pan-frying, tempura, and grilling. With thin walls that blister readily, they acquire a unique rich flavor enhanced by a sprinkle of salt and lemon juice. Yum! Compact enough for container growing, you will want to keep this one close to the kitchen. Shishito peppers transition from green to red as they mature, offering a sweeter taste when fully ripened.
