The Unripe Secret: The Truth About Green Bell Peppers
Episode 39
In today's episode we're debunking common kitchen folklore surrounding the most misunderstood pepper.
We reveal The Truth About Green Bell Peppers: they aren't fully ripened vegetables - they are immature fruits.
We dive into the science of why they taste bitter, which is due to chemical compounds called pyrazines, and why they cost less than their red, yellow, or orange counterparts.
Discover how their nutritional profile differs dramatically, showing lower Vitamin A and C content compared to mature peppers, but still remaining healthy.
Finally, we share practical tips, like removing the skin or cooking them thoroughly, to reduce bitterness and make them easier to digest for sensitive stomachs.
