    What is Shishito Pepper:

    It's a Japanese sweet pepper that produces handfuls of finger-long fruits. This pepper is small and very mild in flavor.

    How Hot is a Shishito Pepper?

    Based on Wikipedia, only one out of every ten peppers is spicy. Shishito peppers are perfect whether broiled, grilled, pan-fried and can even be eaten raw in a salad.

    Where to Buy Shishito Peppers:

    I found fresh shishito peppers at my local Trader's Joe, Ralphs, Sprouts here in San Diego. Each 6 oz bag is around $1.99 which is quite inexpensive. You can find these peppers at most Asian grocery market or purchase them cooked as an appetizer at many Japanese restaurants.

    How to Grow Shishito Peppers:

    Growing Shishito peppers requires full sun and these plants are perfect for growing in containers.  They are a summer crop so the hotter months are best.  When buying these at a restaurant they can be especially expensive, so if you’re inclined to grow your own I’d say go for it!

    This Oven Roasted Shishito Peppers recipe is also a kid friendly snack due to its sweet and mild taste.  My kids have been around quite a lot of Asian food and based on prior experiences with peppers were very hesitant to try it, but after a small bite, they realized that these peppers had a very mild taste.  Even my four-year-old daughter was really enjoying them!

      Shsishito peppers look quite tempting. Looking at the pictures, I thought they would be real "hot", but looks can be deceptive. As you say they are quite mild, will check out if I can get any in our departmental store.

      I don't think I've ever heard of this type of pepper. Lol I like how it's a gamble with the spiciness level.
