50-200 SHU. One of the most highly prized peppers for Japanese cooking and stir-fries. This pepper is also wonderful pickled and fresh. It is hot, sweet, and crisp. This variety is a prolific producer. If you like the pepperoncini pepper, this is very comparable in size and shape, but totally different in flavor.
Very reliable seeds with great germination rates
I'd never heard of this variety until I started following Jess from Roots and Refuge. I'm happy she shares her garden with us, and she also tells us what she does with that produce. I would have never thought about blistering these whole, but they are good enough to eat as a side dish. I blister them in some olive oil and add a bit of salt and pepper. I pair them with scrambled eggs and throw them in a breakfast taco. They're good on pizzas, too. I do cut them into quarters and remove the seeds. We use an Ooni oven for pizza. They get a nice little char on them, and it feels like we've gone out for artisan pizza.
This is my first time growing shishito peppers and so far so good. I’m not the best at starting peppers from seeds, even though I do it every year. I don’t know if I am becoming a better gardener or if shishitos are just easy to grow, but these have done outstanding. Germination has been nearly 100% and the seedlings look great!
Great germination. Took them a couple weeks, but they got there. Looking forward to seeing how well they produce.
I love the seeds from MIGardener. These peppers only took about 7 days to start popping out of the soil. I am happy so far.

I wasn't sure it would survive when I planted it, but it is growing. Very happy with my purchase
I immediately set this plant outside to begin hardening off. After about 2 weeks, I planted it in it's dedicated grow bag until I get a more permanent planter, and I must say it is living life. It has grown so much since I received it. I believe I'm going to remove the blossoms this year to continue promoting healthy growth.
Love this. I collect stickers on my garden notebook for fun and inspiration and this spoke to me.
Very good seed potatoes, growing well
Plants arrived in great condition. One plant did not take and ended up dying. We ordered 10 bare root plants, but actually got 1 extra so even after one failed, we still ended up with 10 great looking plants.
