Why do I never see red Jalapeños in stores?

1. It takes longer to get a pepper to market if you wait until
it's ripe.

2. Ripe peppers won't hold as long as the green ones.

3. Consumers have been duped into believing that green is the
correct stage to eat a pepper, just as they buy those tasteless
orangey-red things they call tomatoes, or consider thin, watery
beer good.



There are a few peppers that are best harvested green, but the
vast majority are so much more flavorful ripe.
