## Overview

This packet contains 10 premium Shishito Japanese Pepper heirloom seeds, known for their slender, thin-walled pods that mature from green to red. Typically harvested green, about 10% of these peppers deliver a surprising spicy kick influenced by growing conditions. Their thin skin chars easily, making them perfect for grilling, pan-frying, or fresh culinary uses. Ideal for gardeners seeking rare, authentic Japanese peppers with versatile cooking potential.

## Description

Description: The pepper is small and finger-long, slender, and thin-walled. Although it turns from green to red upon ripening, it is usually harvested while green. The name refers to the fact that the tip of the chili pepper looks like the head of a lion (shishi), and in Japanese it is often abbreviated as shishitō. About one out of every ten peppers is spicy. The occurrence of pungent fruit is induced by such factors as illumination, and other stress may predispose the peppers to turn spicy. For cooking, a hole is poked in the pepper beforehand to keep expanding hot air from bursting the pepper. It may be skewered then broiled (grilled), or pan-fried in oil, stewed in a soy sauce- and dashi-based liquid, or simply eaten raw in a salad or as a condiment. It is thin-skinned and will blister and char easily compared with thicker-skinned varieties.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy with this purchase

These are great and all of them sprouted and grew well!

### ⭐⭐ Disappointed
*by L***N on September 28, 2019*

Not very many seeds and did not sprout

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with purchase after only a few days.
*by D***S on March 1, 2018*

I just naturally have pretty green thumbs so YMMV. I received 11 seeds, and put them in a wet paper towel in a baggy. After 4 or 5 days 9 of the 11 had sprouted and had roughly a quarter inch growth of root. I will update as I go, but I fully expect the remaining 2 seeds to sprout in the next few days. Edit: The remaining 2 seeds have sprouted, of the original 9, 8 of them have popped out of the dirt and are starting to grow. Ill continue to update as I go.
