It was developed in Japan and is often cooked\u00a0in tempura and in other general culinary dishes\u00a0that require a multipurpose chill pepper with a nice flavour rather than heat &#8211; ie. you can easily eat a whole Shishito pepper without bringing on a sweating response &#8211; but you will randomly get a hotter one. They are especially nice when toasted\u00a0lightly on a grill as a whole pepper and thrown into a noodle dish or stir fry.<\/p>\n<p>The plant is quite decorative and\u00a0tends to be fairly small &#8211; although it produces a lot of fruit when it gets moving in late summer. I have found\u00a0them to be fairly slow growing to start with &#8211; so it&#8217;s a good idea to get the seed started very early in spring. The other growing requirements are like most chill and they like lots of direct sun and a lightly\u00a0mulched soil where they can get soil heat on and around the upper roots. And they like lots of manure and food like seaweed.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shishito\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shishito\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shishito<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shishito chill pepper is a mild bright emerald green and usually about 7-10cm long.
