Shishito peppers are small, thin-skinned chili peppers popular in Japanese cuisine, though their cultivation and use have expanded worldwide. Recognized for their mild, smoky flavor, about one in ten peppers carries a fiery kick, adding a surprising twist to each bite. Low in calories and rich in fiber, Shishito peppers are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, supporting immunity and skin health. They also contain small amounts of potassium, aiding muscle function and heart health. Typically pan-seared or grilled, Shishito peppers make for a nutritious snack, side dish, or appetizer. Their thin skin allows for quick cooking, locking in flavor while preserving nutrients. However, when served with excessive oil or salty toppings, their health benefits can diminish slightly. Incorporating Shishito peppers into meals can offer a flavorful, low-calorie option rich in antioxidants and nutrients to support overall wellness.
