Interesting, a green pepper is actually not ripe yet, correct? It is when
they become red that the fruit is ripe. So does that mean the seed is not
fully developed yet?
I will say they will not sprout.

Peppers I grown here in NJ such as Jalapenos don't always get to
the red stage but they are still ripe. These peppers from the store
seem ripe while still green. I think I tried a seed experiment in the
past with store bought peppers in seed starter soil and they
didn't sprout but this time I have about 30 fresh looking seeds
so lets see what happens.
