I mentioned the difference between the different color peppers and how they all start out green but change colors based on how long they are on the plant but did you know….
I know you wanted to learn something today! So-Red peppers DO have more vitamins/nutrients than green peppers AND have lycophene (green peppers do not) PLUS have 9 times more antioxidants AND 2 times more Vitamin C……I’m stickin to the Red!!!!
I already knew the red were my favorites but now they even have MORE reason to be. Well, the yellow too. I love those as well. I really didn’t know they were all the same. I like getting the “chocolate” ones at the farmers market in the summer. They’re yummy too and very aesthetically pleasing.
chocolate ones?? never heard or seen those!!?? do explain! Real chocolate? (covered?)
I think they might be a hybrid but I’m not sure. Same goes for the purple ones. Even at the farmers market they’re hard to find.
