Shishito Peppers

One pint of Shishito Peppers from Urban Edge Farms in Brentwood

These amazing peppers earned their name from Shishi, the Japanese word for lion! They were originally brought to East Asia by the Portuguese in the 1500s. Shishitos are bright, flavorful sweet chilies with typically a mild spiciness (50 to 200 Scoville heat units.) on the Scoville scale. Approximately, 1 out of 10 peppers are hotter than the others and this has to do with the peppers growing conditions: the variety of seed, how late in the season it was harvested, water and soil fertility.
