Description
Mellow Star F1 peppers are a delicious shishito pepper with thin wrinkled skin and no heat. Shishitos are popular in Japan for tempura, but have become increasingly popular in the U.S. where they are blistered on a hot grill and then seasoned with oil, salt, and lime juice. This variety produces large yields over a long growing season.
