Shishito peppers are small, thin-skinned green peppers originating from Japan, commonly used in East Asian cuisine. Known for their mild, slightly sweet flavor, about one in ten has a surprising spicy kick. They are typically pan-fried, grilled, or roasted, making them a popular appetizer or side dish. Rich in vitamins A and C, shishito peppers support immune health and skin vitality. Low in calories and high in dietary fiber, they are a great choice for healthy snacking or adding to meals. They contain beneficial antioxidants and compounds thought to reduce inflammation. However, preparation methods like frying or serving with heavy dips may increase calorie content.
