Shishito peppers are thin, light green Japanese peppers with a slightly sweet flavor and usually mild heat, though occasionally you'll encounter a spicy one. This 2-pound bag provides fresh shishito peppers perfect for blistering on high heat in a cast iron skillet.

These peppers have thin, tender skin that crisps beautifully when seared. They're ideal as an appetizer or snack served with flaky salt and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. The unpredictability of mild versus spicy peppers makes them fun and addictive to eat.
