- Peppers can be harvested when the outside is firm to touch.
- Cut the stems off 1 inch above the pepper's cap.
- Harvesting is best done in early morning and evening hours for better quality.
- The use of sharp tools is good practice to minimize breakage of the central stem and to
avoid creating an area that is susceptible to disease.
- Use latex gloves, if desired, when harvesting hot Chile peppers, as the juice on your
hands can irritate sensitive skin.
- Peppers can be canned, used fresh, or frozen.
