It's often reported in seed magazines and in descriptions about Shishitos that they are very mild peppers (maybe more of a sweet than a hot pepper, really) but that approximately 1 in 10 peppers is a bit of wild card in that it's hot. I've been growing Shishitos for a few years now, and have never eaten a Shishito that's given me more than a mild tingle. Has anyone here actually ever had a Shishito that had a respectable amount of heat before?

Do you need help identifying a š¶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? š¤§
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

I've grown shishito in the past. Your description of "a mild tingle" sounds about right. Perhaps a thing for people with a very low tolerance for spicy food? (I'm suddenly remembered of those diced Tamedā¢ JalapeƱos)
@ahayastani sorry I missed this post-thanks for the info. Yeah I'm wondering if there's really such thing as a hot shishito.
