When can i eat the chillis from my plant?

i have grown a bolivian rainbow chilli plant from a packet of seeds, the chillis start off tiny and green then go purple then yellow then red.


At what stage can i eat them?





di i wait till they go red then start to go soft as they are still rock hard at the moment. they are only about an inch long and i dont think they get much bigger.





i also have another type of chilli plant, it has really big chillis on it that start green then go straight to red, can i eat these green or are the green ones you see in shops different plants that only go green?
