Fun fact, browsing YouTube late at night and discovered something pretty fascinating about sweet peppers.
For starters, they are a fruit due to their seeds. They are called peppers, but don’t contain any capsaicin (like in cayenne peppers ) or piperine (like black pepper).
The most intriguing part are the colors. Ever wondered why the green ones are always more economical yet the red or orange cost more? Additionally ever pondered on the flavor, why is green more bitter and the red I can literally eat like a slice of apple?
The reason is because the sweet peppers have to ripen. Think of them like a green banana (plantains) the greener the bitter the more ripe the sweet.
Hope you enjoyed these fun facts. 🥲
