AAA - Green Shishito Pepper Mash

Magic Plant Green Shishito Pepper Mash

The Gourmet Mild Favorite—Savory Depth with a Bright, Grassy Finish.

Overview

Our natural Green Shishito packs a gentle and approachable heat at 50 to 200 (SHUs). Shishitos are famous for being "mostly mild," though about one in every ten peppers can provide a surprise zing! So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex savory and slightly smoky flavor! Our Green Shishito ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and fermented mash are mild (spicy) so use freely to enhance your dishes. Remember, the flavor is front-and-center, making it a perfect entry point for those who enjoy flavor without overwhelming heat.

The Shishito is a popular East Asian variety known for its thin walls and wrinkled appearance. Intense Flavor and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Green Shishito peppers have a distinctive appearance with a slender, wrinkled texture and a vibrant green color. They are often characterized by their blunt, folded tips, giving them a "lion head" appearance—which is where the name "Shishito" originates.

Want more heat?

Customize your kick: If you love the savory, grassy notes of the Shishito but want more intensity, you can mix our fermented mash with our hotter varieties like our Red Jalapeño or Red Habanero.
