I’m trying to understand what type of pepper this is and when they’re ready to harvest?
Thanks

When they’re completely red and ripe.

Serrano can be eaten when green. Like jalapeños most are green but you can leave until red. I usually pick them green so they are still pretty firm.

Try one and see if you like it. I eat all mine at all stages of ripeness

pick one when you need it, but I prefer them red

When they change color, otherwise, this isn’t ripe yet, doesn’t mean you can’t eat it, every stage of the pepper is edible, you can eat it right now, if you wanted

Theese are the peppers used in authentic Pico De Gallo….. Diced Tomatos seeded, serannos diced, white onion diced, cilantro diced, and lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Its soooo good.

Not knowing what you’re growing make it harder.
As a ground rule, I’d say that almost every pepper is a light green when they start growing, and they aren’t ripe before that color changes noticeably – even green peppers will go clearly darker green.
You may like it bright green, but it’s not ripe.

Ripe is much better.

It’s basically impossible. How could you ever know?! It’s like playing the lotto.
