How Do You Know When Banana Peppers Are Ready To Be Picked?
Banana peppers are ready to be picked when they reach their full size of around 4-6 inches in length and their color changes from green to yellow or red, depending on the cultivar. They should feel firm to the touch and the skin should be glossy and smooth. If the peppers are left on the plant for too long, they may become wrinkled and lose their flavor, so it’s important to harvest them regularly once they are mature.
