Shishito peppers are an East Asian (Japan-Korean) pepper variety known for its slender and wrinkled appearance. A very mild pepper with smoky flavour and a hint of citrus which is enhanced when grilled or roasted. Almost always harvested when still green, most shishito peppers will be mild and sweet 50-200 on the scoville scale but occasionally, a few individual peppers will be warmer than the rest, 100-1,000 SHU. Extremely popular finger food of late because for their tasty flavour and rich health benefits. They are packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Harvest at 5-10cm (2 4") in length once wrinkled with green appearance. Can also be left until fully mature as well at which point they will turn red. It's recommended to start the seeds indoors 8 to 12 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep. Germination time: 10 to 25 days. When transplanting, space plants 24 inches apart. Height: 4 feet.
