I bought a huge bag of dried arbol peppers for a display i was making in my kitchen and at the bottom of the bag there is like a thousand seeds! Does anyone know if the seeds of a dried peppers are any good for planting? I have no way of knowing how long ago they were dried but i just bought them at a busy market so i dont think the peppers are too old. |

Its easy to find out if they will sprout . Dampen a couple paper towels ,,place a few seeds in the towel fold the towel over ,, place in a warm place,, some peppers take a couple weeks to germinate.Keep the towels damp not overly wet. Hope this helps. |

They will sprout! I am growing seeds (well, plants with lots of chiles on them now) from guajillo (mirasol) chiles, chinese hot chiles (tuong ot) and cayenne seeds, all from dried chiles I bought at the store...try as many chiles as you can get your hands on, they sprout and since chiles are usually self pollinating, you don't have to worry about infertile hybrids. |
