AAA - Red Shishito Pepper Powder

Magic Plant Red Shishito Pepper Powder

The Gourmet’s Choice—Mild Heat with a Complex, Sweet Savory Twist.

Overview

Our natural Red Shishito packs a gentle, approachable heat at 50 to 200 (SHUs). Unlike the intense "creeper" peppers, the Shishito provides a subtle, steady warmth that is respected by chefs worldwide. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet and savory flavor! Our Red Shishito ground pepper, crushed flakes and dry whole pods are very mild (spicy) so use freely to enhance your culinary creations. Remember, the heat is delicate, but we always suggest a small taste test to gauge your personal flavor preference.

The Red Shishito is the fully ripened version of the popular green Shishito, resulting in a much sweeter and more developed flavor profile. Pleasant Warmth and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Shishito peppers have a distinctive appearance with a thin-walled, wrinkled texture and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their slender, finger-like shape, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the gourmet chili community.

Red Shishito peppers are known to be a favorite among Japanese and fusion cuisine enthusiasts! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' Shishitos. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in generous doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For a boost of flavor, just add more directly on top!

Want More Heat?

Customize the burn: If you love the savory flavor of Shishitos but want a more intense kick, you can mix our ground Red Shishito peppers with our hotter varieties like our Red Habanero or Ghost Pepper. This will still give you the sweet savory flavor of the Shishito while allowing you to control the level of heat in your dish.
