Shishito peppers are a small, slender variety of mild chili peppers, originally hailing from Japan and often featured in East Asian cuisine. Typically served blistered or grilled, their thin skin and vibrant green color make them a popular appetizer or side dish. With about 20 calories per serving, they’re low in calories and packed with vitamin C, vitamin A, and fiber, promoting immunity, eye health, and digestion. Shishito peppers also contain antioxidants, which can help combat oxidative stress. While most are mild, about 1 in 10 can surprise with a spicier kick. They’re usually prepared with minimal added ingredients, keeping them a nutritious snacking option, though excess oil or sodium used in recipes might reduce their overall health benefits. Delicious and versatile, shishitos are a fun and wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
