Some of my chillies going purple?

Any ideas on this one?

Most as still green,a few have turned red and there are several that are either completely purple or with purple blotches *scratches head*

They could taste volcanic, :D

Just had some red jalapeno, varieties in a chilli for lunch, wow, :eek:, to say the least

Several varieties go from green to purple/almost black before turning red.

If you get too many, don't forget they also freeze well too. I pop them into a Philadelphia pot, or margarine tub.

A quick rub between the palms thaws and softens them up to make them safe for slicing.

So, do you think it is better to freeze than dry and store, must admit a lot of my dried ones rotted last year due to late ripening, never frozen any,

Quite normal, I've heard it said it is due to plenty of sun. Some of my plants go purple on the stems.

there are lots of chillis that stay purple colour I grow Gustos Purple for instance.
