recently, one or more people posted about how eating rocoto/pubescens green is disgusting.

so how can the olive rocoto be delicious? asking honestly. in this case it must be a matter of ripeness, not colour?

yes, one thing is unripe peppers (which IME have a bad, too grassy flavor, except for C. annuum and some C. baccatum), another thing are those that genetically ripen to a certain color (olive, mustard and permagreen). I suppose I will check the matter as soon as the mini olives ripen. I also have a couple of permagreen chinenses to test. I will probably have to arm myself with patience to understand when to harvest them
