    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!

      I was wondering where to buy them and then you answered all of the questions running through my head. This looks like my kind of snack. I'll have to look for them next time I'm grocery shopping.

      Will have to look for some seeds or plants of these types of peppers. We grow many different types and like to try new types of peppers. Sweet and mild flavors sounds wonderful.

      I'm embarrassed to say that I've actually never heard of these peppers. This looks delicious so I'm definitely going to try it. We were Trader Joe's close to us so I think I'm going to go explore over there and see what they have.

      What an interesting sounding thing to do with peppers, I have to admit they aren't something I've tried cooking with much at all.

      I don't think I have ever had shishito peppers! They look great in this recipe so I will have to hunt some down.

      I love peppers of any kind so I am sure I would love these too! I love that you added ginger and lemon, the perfect combination!

      I haven't tried these peppers before and I don't know where to find them. I will try my best because your recipe does look like a good appetizer.

      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.
