I presume that the bitter peppers you are referring to are green. Bell peppers change from green to yellow, through orange into red as they ripen. The red ones are far sweeter than the green ones and green ones, by definition, are unripe. As you know, they can be eaten when green and unripe but when they are too unripe, they are bitter and taste unpleasant.
The best way of ripening them is to leave them on the plant to ripen in the sun. This is fine if you grow them yourself. If you buy them, either pick yellow or red peppers if the recipe allows you to, or you can ripen the green ones a little once you have bought them by storing them a while longer before using them. They will not ripen enough to change color but they will be a little less bitter. Hope this helps.

Do red bell peppers come from green bell peppers?
Yes red bell peppers come from green bell peppers, as do most bell peppers. They develop their color variances and flavor as they ripen. If you are growing bell peppers make sure you choose a variety you want, don't assume your green bell pepper will ripen into a lovely red as you may be disappointed and end up with a yellow or chocolate colored fruit. Variances are great and may vary immensely between (yellows, orange, reds, purple, and brown) Try growing the "Chianti Bell" It's a nice red bell pepper with a thick sweet hull. Yummmmmm :-)
