thank you for the help. does it have to be 100% ripe? i got the last of the peppers at the farm i work at the day before frost and i took four aside for planting next season in a personal garden. they are mostly ripe but not perfect.

Dude, it's pronounced. Hah-lah-pen-yo.

Does this apply to green pepper as well? I read that these need to be stored in a much cooler environment. 35-50F

The heat is mostly in the membrane not the seed.

The heat of a hot pepper is contain mainly in the placental tissue containing the seeds.

Then put them in the freezer till spring!

your video was extremely helpful thank you

I'm new to gardening and want to thank you for the information on the video. Is it possible to dry the seeds in a dehydrator or is it best to dry them slowly? Eddie

those look like Fresno peppers. I put mine in an envelope for a week or two

Those are sweet peppers, right?

Thanks for sharing. Learning to grow from seeds is so important. Plus this ensures that you are eating real foods, not that other invention stuff, if you know what I mean. Peace

can i plant fresh seeds from the pod without drying the seeds?

oops gave you the same question twice sorry

how would I know they are mature green bell peppers what color did turn after green?

Actually the highest concentration of capsaicin is found in the white pith around the seeds. The seeds are hot because they are in the flesh, but not actually the hottest part of the pepper.

I've held and messed with all kinds of hot peppers including some of the hottest in the world and touching them with your hands is not going to hurt you. You are putting them on your tongue. Don't you think it's going to harm your tongue more than your hands?

What about green bell peppers do they trun red too or can you save the seeds when they are green?

easyest seed to save but not to grow and also i suggest you to handle gloves because it can hurt you eyes etc

How long will a pepper plant bear fruit for? is it kind of a one shot thing then it dies? (growing a normal thai chili plant)
Also, what do the seeds look like once dried? Mine turned kind of black around the edges. (Jalapeno seeds)
