I recently purchased a jalepeno plant from Home Depot. It's already in a pot and is about 2 feet tall. It's been doing really good with plenty of light and its producing a lot of peppers. However, the pepper flesh tastes like grass or like a green pepper but the seeds and center flesh are very spicy, almost too spicy. I only pick ones that are 3+ inches, firm and a good green color. It seems that if I let them sit for a couple days after picking, they seem to taste better. Do jalepenos need to ripen further off the plant after picking or should they be ready to eat straight from the plant?
