The fruits are small, finger-long, slender, and thin-walled. They are usually harvested while still green but will turn red if left on the plant. About one out of every ten peppers is spicy.
Like other peppers, Shishito peppers become spicier as they mature.
The plants produce very well in our climate throughout the whole growing season.
Before cooking, poke a hole in the pepper to keep expanding hot air from bursting the pepper. They can be eaten raw, sauteed with oil and sea salt, stewed in a soy sauce or used in soups.
Scoville heat units (SHU): 50-1,000 (Bell pepper is 0 SHU)
