Bell Peppers Recipes

Most grocery stores stock green, yellow, orange, and red bell peppers. You may think the brightly colored peppers come from different plants, but they’re actually the same variety of bell pepper!

Green bell peppers are picked the earliest, and red bell peppers are left to grow for the longest. This also explains why green bell peppers have a sharper, more peppery taste and red bell peppers taste sweeter.

For most recipes, you can use any type of bell peppers you’d like. However, I do try to buy the same color of bell pepper that the recipe calls for since using different colored peppers can affect the flavor of a dish.
