The green pepper is harvested before completely ripening. The reason for the price difference between colored and green peppers is the amount of spoilage that occurs as you allow peppers to ripen. Ripened peppers have a very short shelf life compared to green.
I think there is a problem inherent in the question. I have noticed that in America, the question makes sense, but in Europe, typically all colors of bell peppers are lumped together at the same price. I have always assumed this was due to the above statement, where in the US the price difference is due to the general nature of distribution and supply demand incorporating shelf life, where as, in Europe there is not as much market force, since most food is grown/sold somewhat locally, and the pressure is not that, since all the produce is typically 'fresh'. More feedback welcomed.
Yes, red peppers start off green and change color as they ripen. As the pepper matures, it transitions from green to yellow, orange, and finally red.
red orange yellow green
Green capsicum can change color as it ripens, typically turning yellow, orange, or red. There are also different varieties of capsicum plants that naturally produce capsicums in colors other than green, such as yellow, orange, or purple.
The color depends on when the pepper was picked. Peppers that haven't ripened are green, then they turn yellow, and finally red when fully ripened.
no, green peppers are simply unripe red ones
The red, yellow and orange have a sweeter taste. The red usually being the sweetest and having the most flavor.
If you are talking about bell peppers, yellow is supposed to be milder than red. A green bell pepper, if left on the plant will turn either yellow or red ( depending on the variety. ) Myself, I haven't noticed much difference between yellow and red. And I prefer the green for flavor . . . but allow a few to go to yellow or red for color.
I am unable to find the answer to this question but my son vomits a few hours after eating a red pepper but not green, yellow or orange peppers. Go figure.
All bell peppers ,green, red, orange,yellow have approximately the same amount of seeds. -Other varieties of peppers differ.
Bell peppers are fruit because they contain the seeds of the plant. Bell peppers come in a variety of colors such as yellow, green, red and orange and have different taste.
Because red and yellow peppers are sweeter.
They are simply a package containing a red, yellow and green bell pepper.
