Great photo!

The Aji Amarillo I distributed ripen to the orange color, but only after a good deal of time at light-green/yellow.

However, I have only distributed mini-Ahi (see Barb's photo) and I am only growing the large orange one (Cole Robbie's photo) this year.

Chefs seem to want the large ones, but they are hard to find. I saw my first one last fall, and am currently growing it for the first time.

I found a web pic of some Ajis from Peru:

So I guess the one we have is the yellow Aji?

How do I tell when the peppers are ripe? Or can I use them at any stage of ripeness?
