I bought “purple beauty” seeds from a Missouri seed store. They resemble jalapenos but are not nearly as hot. Anyone know a good use ? Salsa ?

Also; my pimentos are big and green. Do they eventually turn red ?

It has been my experience with peppers, that they will eventually become red if left on the vine long enough.

I am not familiar with the purple beauty.

I did a little research and it seems that purple beauty peppers are very good in salsa.

They really are beautiful peppers:

I've never grown pimentos, but as they mature they should turn red. They should be sweeter at that point, too.
