I told my mom any time she at a farmers market and saw super hot peppers to grab me some. To be fair I didn’t specify ripeness 🤦🏻‍♂️ anyhow, I’m wondering what I can do with a bag of unripe peppers? They have almost no heat

    Take them out of the bag and leave them in a dry sunny place, they may change color a little more. Otherwise just make a spicier salsa verde

    Chop some chives and add to a pack of cream cheese, mix well, add salt to taste and mix again.

    Cut the tops off the peppers and stuff them with the cheese mix.

    Snack.

    Repeat last step until satisfied.

    Blend them up with some water and protein powder and down the hatch. Let your hair down. Take a ride on the wild side.

    Make your own hot sauce and save seeds to sell!

    What we do with most of our “unwanted” peppers is make pickled pepper rings. Dice them all up into rings, create a warmed brine with whatever you want to flavour your rings with. You can almost use any flavour here as it will sit in a pickle brine for a while. I like use a couple tablespoons of an already favourite hot sauce with vinegar, sugar, seasoning. Queen Majesty Scotch Bonnet is so good. Let it sit and use them to top other foods with.

    Call them Pepper X and sell them to rubes .

    I’ve always grown up eating green chilies (India). For eating or cooking, we typically use the green version of chili. So maybe look up some Indian recipes? Check out thecha!

  8. Try roasting them then sauté with tomitios onion cherry tomatoes cilantro salt fresh garlic one rib celery until done and very soft. Add I/2 oz. Vinegar 1oz. Represada tequila Blender on high all combined. Salsa extraordinaire.

    Set them on a wire rack and let them ripen up a bit. I had a almost 5lb of completely green lemon drops at the end of the season last year. I was able to get almost every single one of them to turn fully yellow before freezing or fermenting for future use. They look like they’re fully mature, just unripe. Look into ripening off the plant, it should work with these

    After reading they haven’t begun to produce any noticeable heat, (I find it odd considering the texture of the skin ) you only will get unripe pepper flavor wherever you use these. Alot if times green peppers still carry tons of heat. But yes, I wouldn’t really use them, as I’m not into the green flavor.

  12. I like the way the green ones taste personally.

    Pickle them, then slowly use them to make chili and salsa.

    Cut them into rings and add some other hot and non-hot sweet peppers. Make pickled pepper rings. When you take out a lot of the pith they end up almost a bit fruity. You could add some jalapenos and other peppers. They’d go well in a chili or as a nice topping for hot dogs and sandwiches.

    I love sliced green habaneros quick pickled in lime juice and salt.

    I don’t know if these are too hot for that.

    I dehydrate my “greenies” as the end of the season and make a dry pepper seasoning to get me through the winter

  17. MaxPower637

    Microdose them to build up to eating them whole

  18. Panders-Layton

    Flavor is good, just like if you were to dehydrate serranos/jalepenos, just much hotter. I add other dehydrated ingredients like ginger, garlic.

    I have made green salsa that tasted good with similar peppers except mine were spicy even though they were green. I made them with tomatillos. If yours are not spicy it might be worth trying to add all of them, in the past I found I still get a very rich pepper flavor without it being too spicy.
