Introducing the Shishito Pepper – the pepper that adds a touch of culinary magic to your kitchen! Originating from Japan, where it's known for its thin walls perfect for tempura, this little dynamo is a sensation in the U.S. too. Also affectionately called the "Wrinkled Old Man" pepper or Lion pepper, it boasts a unique appearance and a myriad of uses. Whether roasted, stir-fried, sautéed, or sliced into salads, Shishitos bring mild heat with a surprise twist – about one in every 10-20 peppers plays a game of Russian Roulette, hitting you with unexpected heat! Growing compact at 2 ft. tall, it's a container-friendly delight. With wrinkly skin, thin walls, and a sweet, citrusy, slightly smoky flavor, these peppers are the stars of appetizers. Get ready for a culinary adventure – Shishito style!
SHISHITO PEPPER
Choosing between the 4" pot pepper start and the pepper plant in a 3-gallon grow bag with support stakes depends on your gardening style and space. If you're the hands-in-the-dirt type, ready to plant directly into a garden bed or a container of your choice, the 4" pot is your green ticket. On the flip side, if you're new to gardening, have limited space, or perhaps you're a renter without the option of an in-ground garden, the 3-gallon grow bag is your hassle-free hero. Complete with support stakes, it's a portable garden solution, bringing the joy of growing peppers to any patio or balcony. At mM/PLANTS, we've got the perfect plant for every gardener's needs!
