IseIse is similar in flavor and texture to the common Shishito pepper, but sweeter and larger fruited. Fruit are 3 ½” long by 1” wide and still small enough to prep in all of the classic Shishito ways, but the larger size makes for a quicker harvest. Ise is more well-suited for charcoal grilling since the wider fruit stay on the grill. At Scrapberry Farm, we like to dry and grind the thin-walled Ise peppers for a year round flavor boost.

When dried, it is called Ají Mirasol or Cusqueno. On the plants, the young fruits start out green, turn yellow, and ripen this fiery orange. When cooked, the fruit truns yellow, hence the name.

In Zanzibar, where this pepper was selected by indigenous people, they call it “Pilipili Mboga” which means, literally, in Swahili, “Vegetable Pepper.” These peppers are generally consumed in the green state, chopped finely and served along with lime, tomato, onion and salt. If you pick them very early, then they won’t be very hot at all, and will taste more or less like a green bell pepper. Type was originally sourced from Pemba by Richo at Strictly Medicinal. We've been growing them at Scrapberry for several years now. Expect large plants, 2-4 feet in height.

FishThe Fish Pepper is an extremely flavorful, productive, and decorative variety that makes an excellent hot sauce. The white unripe fruit were used to flavor seafood dishes in the Black catering community of Baltimore in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The foliage is variegated white and green, as is much of the unripe fruit, which is 2-3" long and turns from white with green stripes, to orange with brown stripes, and then bright red. The heat is a 3 on a scale from 1-5. A note from True Love Seeds: We've found that many plants in our Fish Pepper population are less variegated on their leaves and fruits, and we leave these in as they tend to be healthier, stronger, and more productive, improving the long-term health of this population.
