The Yatsafusa peppers mature to a deep red at about 3 inches, but can be picked before maturity, when they are green, for a slightly different and milder flavor. It is said that the best flavor comes from mixing the young green peppers with the mature red ones in dishes. These peppers are relatively mild compared to the eye-watering habanero, but they are still hot, similar to the cayenne, and they have good flavor, rather than just simply adding heat to a dish.
