Do you agree?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SHISHITO pepper is small and easy to cook. While most SHISHITO peppers are mild, some may be spicy.

The most compelling theory is that certain climate conditions, such as dry air and high temperatures, may affect SHISHITO pepper growth. Another theory is that they become spicy when harvested later than usual.

Both green and red PEAMAN can be used in various dishes, such as stir-fries with shredded beef or stuffed bell peppers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuzuki Farm grows PEAMAN Bell Pepper from June to October, and the red PEAMAN variety is harvested in August.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suzuki Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44517073846371,"sku":"1037","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/8549\/8723\/files\/IMG-9752.jpg?v=1787693727"},{"product_id":"green-shiso-leaf-ohba-perilla-suzuki-farm-20-leaves","title":"Green SHISO Leaf (OHBA, Perilla) | Suzuki Farm | 20 leaves","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreen SHISO belongs to the Perilla family and is the most well-known herb in Japan, making it an essential ingredient in Japanese cuisine. Raw SHISO leaves are commonly used as condiments to savor their unique aroma with SUSHI, and they are also used in salads, stir-fries, and deep-fried dishes. Green SHISO tempura is also incredibly delicious! In some regions, Green SHISO leaves are referred to as OHBA, which translates to \"big leaf.\" However, the term OHBA is only used to refer to the product, not the plant or seedling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHISO leaves have a well-known refreshing aroma due to an essential oil composition called \"perillaldehyde.\" In addition, SHISO leaves are believed to stimulate appetite, metabolism, and perspiration, as well as serve a preservative function. As a result, SUSHI chefs utilize Green SHISO not only for color decoration and aroma but also for its preservation qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHISO leaves have a tendency to spoil quickly, but you can extend their shelf life by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and storing them in a plastic bag. For even longer-lasting freshness, wrap each leaf individually. You may also lightly wet the SHISO leaves and store them in a plastic bag in the vegetable compartment of your refrigerator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Suzuki Farm, we cultivate Green SHISO year-round in our greenhouse. During the summer, we provide half shade to prevent the young leaves from hardening under strong sunlight. In contrast, during the winter, we utilize gas heaters to maintain temperatures between 70-80F, which the plants prefer. We strive to maintain a consistent supply of high-quality, hard-to-find fresh Green SHISO leaves throughout the year.

Originally from Africa, the Middle East, and India, it has deep green leaves and is also known as Jew's Mallow or Egyptian spinach. Although it resembles SHISO leaves, it is not a member of the perilla family. This leafy vegetable is packed with vitamins and minerals, making it a popular ingredient in dietary supplements. Due to its high nutritional value, MOROHEIYA is also known as the \"King of Green Vegetables\" or the \"Mighty Vegetable.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw MOROHEIYA has a bitter taste, but take care not to overcook it as it will lose its nutrients. Cooking with oil can increase your intake of vitamins A, E, and K. We highly recommend MOROHEIYA tempura or stir-fry! When cutting the leaves, they become sticky. If you enjoy NATTO fermented beans, they go well with chopped MOROHEIYA leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGardening MOROHEIYA is relatively easy in the summer as the plants grow well in temperatures ranging from 70 to 90F. Just be sure to water them well when the soil becomes dry. MOROHEIYA is a short-day plant, meaning it begins to flower in late summer. When growing MOROHEIYA at home, DO NOT eat any of the seeds as they contain a toxic substance that affects the heart. On the other hand, the MOROHEIYA leaves sold in stores and online are safe to consume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Suzuki Farm, we grow MOROHEIYA from June to August. Although it has only become popular in Japan since the 1990s, we believe that it is one of the best vegetables to eat in the summer due to its high nutritional value. Its unique sticky texture may be unusual for some, but we still recommend giving it a try to our health-conscious customers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suzuki Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44640150782051,"sku":"1043","price":4.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/8549\/8723\/files\/Molohkia_25.08.07_1.jpg?v=1789767607"}],"url":"https:\/\/itemroot.com\/collections\/farm-raised.oembed","provider":"itemroot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
