Chilli - Shishito is a mild, Japanese pepper known for its unique flavor profile and fun culinary versatility. These small, slender green peppers are typically sweet and tangy, with a hint of smokiness. Occasionally, one in every ten Shishito peppers will surprise you with an unexpected burst of heat, making them a fun and exciting addition to any dish. Often served blistered as an appetizer or snack, these peppers are perfect for grilling, sautéing, or adding to stir-fries. Their mild spice level makes them an excellent choice for those who prefer flavorful, non-overwhelming heat.
