Shishito Peppers (Blistering Peppers, Mostly Mild)

$5.00 · sold by 1/4 lb · Picked this week

Japanese shishito peppers, thin-walled and made for blistering in a hot pan. Most are mild and a little smoky. About one in ten brings a surprise kick, which is half the fun.

Ten minutes from bag to table. Blister them whole, hit them with salt, and you've got the appetizer everyone reaches for.

Good for: blistering in a hot pan with salt, grilling whole, tempura, tossing into stir-fries, a fast appetizer.

Store in the fridge. Best within the week.
