Hot Pepper Seeds Shishito (Capsicum annuum)
Shishito is a mild and flavorful Japanese pepper variety that has gained global popularity for its unique combination of thin, wrinkled skin, and sweet yet smoky taste. Originally from East Asia, this pepper is a staple in Japanese cuisine and is celebrated for its versatility and mild heat, making it a favorite for grilling, frying, or eating fresh.
Shishito plants are compact and highly productive, reaching a height of about 60–90 cm. The peppers are small and slender, typically measuring 7–10 cm in length, with a glossy green color that ripens to vibrant red. Each pepper weighs approximately 15–20 grams. While most Shishito peppers are mild, with a Scoville Heat Unit range of 100–300, an occasional fruit can surprise you with a spicier kick, making it a fun addition to meals.
Shishito peppers are prized for their delicate sweetness, smoky undertones, and hint of heat. They are ideal for quick frying, grilling, or blistering with a touch of olive oil and sea salt. Their tender skin and mild flavor also make them perfect for salads, stir-fries, or as a garnish for various dishes.
Cultivation Recommendations:
• Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Maintain a temperature of 24–30°C for optimal germination, which typically takes 7–14 days.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors once soil temperatures exceed 18°C. Space plants 45–60 cm apart with rows 60–90 cm apart.
• Grow in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Provide full sunlight for best yields.
• Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Shishito plants require regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer during growth and fruit production.
• Harvest peppers when they are bright green and firm for the best flavor. Plants continue to produce fruits throughout the growing season.
Shishito peppers are perfect for culinary enthusiasts and gardeners seeking a productive and easy-to-grow variety. Their mild flavor and versatility make them a popular choice for home cooks and gourmet chefs alike.
Each packet contains 5 fresh, high-quality seeds carefully selected for optimal germination. Orders are processed within 1–2 days and typically delivered within 1–2 weeks across India and worldwide.
