Shishito peppers are small, mild chili peppers originating from Japan, often enjoyed in Asian-inspired dishes. Known for their vibrant green color and slightly wrinkled appearance, these peppers are unique—with one in every ten offering a surprising burst of heat. They are low in calories, high in fiber, and loaded with vitamins A and C, which support healthy skin and immune function. Shishito peppers also contain antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress in the body. Typically prepared by blistering them in a hot pan with oil, they can be a nutritious snack or appetizer, especially when served with minimal added fats or sodium. While generally healthy, the way they’re cooked and seasoned can affect their nutritional profile, so balancing preparation methods with portion sizes is key. Their mild flavor and versatility make them a popular addition to menus around the globe.
