Shishito
This Capsicum Annum is originally from Japan. The name means “Lion Chili Pepper”, from shishi (lion) and togarachi (hot pepper). The peppers are 2 to 3 inches long, elongated and slightly wrinkly, with a very characteristic bulbous end.
The experience of eating Shishitos can only be described as fun. The peppers are extremely mild, except for about 1 in 15. That 1 pepper can be as hot as a Jalapeño. This results in great, low burn with amazing flavor. Deep and earthy as well as sweet, the complex flavor carries the low heat level beautifully.
