Description:
Green chilis are immature chili peppers, most often Pasilla, Anaheim or Poblano peppers that have been harvested before fully ripening. Not as spicy as red chili peppers, they are available raw, canned or pickled and are a common addition to traditional Hispanic dishes ranging from soups to snacks. Green chilis are low in calories, virtually fat-free and rich in nutrients that can enhance your health, including vitamins A, C and K and the phytonutrient capsaicin. If you have a chronic digestive disorder like irritable bowel syndrome or heartburn, however, spicy foods like chilis may exacerbate the symptoms.
Grow It Yourself:
Get your Planting Trays or Pots ready. Use good Seed Starting Mix or Cocopeat or Potting Mix. Moisten the mix and plant the seed 3 times its size deeper in the mix. For example if the seed is 1 mm , then plant it 3 mm deep in the mix. Very small seeds can be sprinkled on top of the mix and covered with a very thin layer of mix. Spray the mix with water and cover with a plastic cover till you see germination. remove cover and keep in semi-shade location till seedling is 3 -4 inchs, then transplant seedling or move your pot in Sunny location.
