the same is true for any unripe pepper. it still tastes "green". yummy orange taste like nothing until they turn orange.

grow them in pots and bring them in and put them under a grow light in the Fall. see what happens. no cheaper than going to get them at the store of you spend a gazzilion dollars on a light though. some things we just need to be realistic with and grow lights? I see them for 700.00us dollars? nope. cant do it. I think they are marketed to the pot growers who can get the money out of a crop and can afford to spend 700.00 on a small square fixture. I can't do it.
