Hello,
Finally got my first ever ripen home grown chillies yesterday, a yellow scotch bonnet.
Now, whats the recommendation on picking? Does the heat and/or flavour improve with ripening, or is the heat and/or flavour consistant once the fruit has reached its matured size?
Some websites say its best to pick peppers as they ripen given that it induces the plant to want to produce more, but if its a trade off for taste, I'd rather let the peppers go.
