Fushimi Pepper Seeds – This traditional Japanese sweet pepper is delicious when eaten right off the plant! It has crispier skin and texture than its companion the Shishito pepper. The thin walls and bright green color make it very popular and widely used in Asian cooking, especially in tempura. These are generally picked and used when they are green, but you can also let them ripen more to a nice red color. 

Fushimi Peppers can be harvested earlier than most other peppers, and are very prolific the entire season, so you'll be harvesting them all summer. You can cook these up with a little sesame oil and salt in a hot frying pan, they are also great when grilled or pickled!

Pasilla is the dried form of the Chilaca chile and means little raisin in Spanish. This refers to its appearance with dark brown wrinkled skin. Use this pepper fresh for enchilada sauce or salsas. Use it dried and powdered in Mexican mole sauces. This heirloom is easy to grow. 

Have you used Pasillas before?  They’re a workhorse chile that will frequently pop up in traditional Mexican sauces and salsas.

Like most dried chiles, they have a different name than their fresh counterpart.  So to get a Pasilla chile you need to start with a ripe Chilaca chile.  De-hydrate it and you’ve got a Pasilla on your hands.

You may also see Pasillas referred to as Pasilla Negro chiles or Chile Negros.Narrow 8-10" peppers are mildly hot with a sweet flavor when fresh, and a rich smoky flavor when dried.

Padrón peppers are small, bright green Spanish chili peppers known for their famously unpredictable heat: most are mild and sweet with a nutty flavor, but about one in ten can be surprisingly spicy, leading to the saying, "some are hot, some are not". They are typically 2-4 inches long, have a conical shape, and are often sautéed in olive oil with sea salt as a popular tapas dish, though they can also be eaten raw or pickled. 

Padrón peppers (Pimientos de Padrón) originate from the town of Padrón in Galicia, Spain, where Franciscan monks cultivated them from seeds brought from the Americas in the 16th century, creating a unique landrace variety known for its mild, sweet flavor with occasional spicy surprises, served fried with salt as a popular tapa.
