Did you know that Green Bell Peppers are immature fruits when they’re harvested? That premature harvesting gives them a fresh and edgy (a.k.a., slightly bitter) taste. Given time to ripen, they will turn from green to yellow, orange, or red, and will become sweeter with age. Technically, green peppers are berries, but one shouldn’t feel obligated to include them in a fruit pie or fruit salad. 😬 They’re yummy when used as a tangy addition to savory recipes. The crisp texture of green peppers makes them great in salads or as an option on a veggie platter. They can be sautéed, roasted, pickled, grilled, stuffed, and baked. The options are endless.
