Mild Green Chili's

Greenacres, WA

Does anyone know where I can get the Mild Green Chili's seed's? I have looked for some in the
seed catalogs but can't find any, I don't enjoy the hotter peppers so want to try these.
Thanks

Marcia, One of the mild chili peppers that I always grow is the Anaheim type pepper. There are many different varieties of the Anaheim "type". Jungs seed, Stokes, Totally Tomatoes (division of Jungs) and almost any other seed company carries at least one type of Anaheim pepper. Most Anaheim types turn from green to red at maturity and also dry down well if you want to save some or string them up. You will just have to look at the descriptions to determine the "heat". Many of the Anaheim types (and other chilis) have Scoville units of around 500-700 which is pretty mild. For comparison, many Jalapeno peppers have a Scoville rating of around 4,500 - 6,000 units and cayenne peppers around 4000 units. You also might try some of the sweet banana type peppers (yellow flesh) which have a different flavor from the standard bell peppers but have very little heat at all.

Thank You so much for your help.
I didn't know what to look for. On a cooking show the lady mentioned that there was a man that is trying to take the heat out of Jalapeno Peppers. He lives in Texas some where.

Marcia, Here is a link to Totally Tomatoes web site. They have a jalapeno variety that is described as "not pungent, not hot, but still enormously flavorful" This might be the one for you. I haven't grown it, my tastes are more to the hot side, i.e. habanero, cayenne and Caribbean Red. Good Luck

Thank You I finely found some in the grocery store and will try to save the seeds from them
Now to learn how to do that. I have not tried to dry new seeds then grow them so will have to learn.

Marcia, If the peppers from the grocery store are fresh, the seeds are probably not mature. Also, if they are dried peppers, they have probably been dried to the point that any seeds in them are not viable. You are better off buying a packet. Once you have them growing, it is easy to save seeds from your crop.
