Pepper growers: How do I tell when my cayenne peppers are ripe and ready to pick?
Jeff asked:
I have a single cayenne pepper plant. It’s not much, but I nearly lost it to a cold snap and I’m quite proud of it for recovering. About two and a half weeks ago, the plant exploded with vegetative growth, doubling in size and growing leaves like crazy.

After that, the plant grew little white blossoms that later turned into tiny red peppers. It looks like I’m going to have some fruit from this plant after all, but how do I know when they are ripe enough to pick?
And now that I think about it, I’m not too sure what to do with them once they are ripe. Should I dry them or use them fresh? How do I dry them? What do you use your peppers for?

The Various Uses of Cayenne Pepper
Jack M Patterson asked:
People have used cayenne pepper for centuries as a seasoning for food, as well as a medicinal herb. Cayenne is a red-hot chili pepper that rates from 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville Scale. Many people who cook add cayenne to their foods, whether they are cooking ethnic foods or American foods. Regardless of the type of cuisine that a chef prepares, people who eat cayenne enjoy the burning sensation that it can cause in their mouths.
Many alternative health care givers often recommend that people take cayenne pepper capsules as a cure for many ailments. The earliest cayenne users prescribed it as an aid in the gastrointestinal tract. Other uses include a countermeasure for rheumatic and arthritic pain, a circulatory tonic, a sore throat remedy, a styptic, and as a thermogenics aid in weight loss. Modern scientific evidence shows that the main chemical ingredient that gives a pepper its “hotness”-capsaicin-is effective as a painkiller if taken internally. Capsaicin is also the main active ingredient in pepper spray and mace, which causes a great deal of pain when applied externally.
Cayenne pepper plants are not difficult to grow, but they do require a certain type of soil in order to grow well. If you would prefer to purchase the powder form of cayenne pepper rather than trying to grow it yourself, you can purchase it in small quantities at any local grocery store or spice retailer.
You can purchase large quantities and receive price discounts if you order your spices over the Internet. When you purchase cayenne pepper, you should realize that it comes in different degrees of heat; the higher the number, the greater the heat or “burning” sensation. You can purchase all kinds of cayenne online at A1SpiceWorld.com.
