{"product_id":"pepper-botan-kosho","title":"PEPPER 'Botan Kosho'","description":"\u003cp\u003eRare and endangered! One of Japan’s most elusive heirloom peppers, a true mountain treasure from the cool, volcanic foothills of Mount Madarao in Shinshu. Named for its rounded, floral cross section (botan means peony) peppers start with a burst of sweet, juicy flavor before unfolding into a gentle, lingering heat and a lovely, tender, balanced flavor. Sweeter in cool climates, spicier when ripened to deep red. Perfect for grilling, pickling in miso paste, or simmering into regional dishes like yatara, a fresh summer dish of chopped vegetables and pickles, and yuzu kosho paste, a fermented condiment made from citrus peel, peppers, and salt. Kept alive by only a handful of dedicated growers, this heirloom is on the brink of disappearing - help us preserve it! 1000-2500 SHU, 80 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lone Star Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 quart round pot","offer_id":43258434879551,"sku":"44053","price":8.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7162\/7839\/files\/hot-pepper-botan-kosho-chili-zs003.webp?v=1774404530","url":"https:\/\/lonestarnursery.com\/products\/pepper-botan-kosho","provider":"Lone Star Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
