I wondered whether chilli seeds needed drying out or leaving for a while before sowing, in order to ensure that they germinate properly.
So I tried sowing them straight from the pod.
The simple answer is no, they don't need drying out. Yes you can plant them straight from the pod immediately. I had excellent results with almost 100 percent germination rates in my trials.
I would hazard that you could cut a pod in half, plant it, and it would still germinate fine, although I think it might rot and stink, and of course it's better to space the seeds out in the usual fashion ;-)
