You can tell because it starts to get mouldy and soft. Once you're at that stage, dump it, don't bother eating it unless you can salvage some of it, but that's highly unlikely, so make sure it's still firm and free from any type of visible damage.

Are red pepper and a red bell pepper are the same?
The term "bell pepper" implies that it's not spicy, but yes, unless you're talking about a SPECIFIC kind of pepper (i.e. Habanero, Jalepeno) they are the same. Take care. Red pepper is also the name used to describe the hot pepper flakes used in Italian cooking. That's very different from red pepper meaning a bell pepper.
Are red bell peppers flakes the same as red pepper flakes?
Not generally, no. Red pepper flakes tend to be made out of chili peppers, which contain capsaicin, giving them a spicy sensation. Red bell pepper flakes do not contain capsaicin and don't have the spice of the red pepper flakes.
Are red bell peppers green before they turn red?
The color of a bell pepper changes as it grows. When a bell pepper is growing, the chloroplasts in its cells are changing the color of the anthocyanin pigment in the pepper flesh. The pigment turns from yellow to red as the bell pepper grows. If you are looking for New Mexico hatch chile then you must visit our store Chilemonster.
What is a sentence with the word pepper?

Are peppers hot?
It depends on what kind of pepper it is. If it is a green (bell) pepper (not the jalapeno), not at all. If it is a green (bell) pepper with a small red area (over-ripening), not at all. The above two kinds of Bell Peppers can be eaten raw, put in salads, or stuffed with a ground beef mixture for baked peppers. If it is a fully RED pepper (not a hot pepper) then not really. If it is a hot pepper or a jalopeno then yes. They are very hot. A hot pepper can be green or red.
What is ground red bell pepper used for?
Ground red bell pepper goes very well in stir fry. It can also be used in spaghetti sauce and other foods that call for bell pepper. Ground yellow and orange bell peppers can also be used in these same foods as they are very close in taste to the red ones. And a mix of all three is a good choice too. Paprika is sometimes made with ground red bell pepper and that is used in goulash, soups, stews, and other sauces. Therefore, in the absence of paprika for a recipe the ground bell pepper can be used as a substitute.

What do pimento seeds look like?
Pimento (or Pimiento) seeds do NOT look like peppercorns. That is incorrect. Pimentos are actually just a form of sweet pepper that are smaller is size than bell peppers, are typically either round or conical in shape, and have really thick flesh. Their seeds look identical to the pepper seeds you find mixed in with a jar of red Chile pepper flakes at your local pizzeria.
What can you use as a substitute for pimentos?
I know, everywhere you look the substitute for green bell peppers is red or yellow bell peppers, and vice versa. Not very helpful if you don't like them or are allergic. It depends on what you are using them in. I use pimiento if color and flavor are needed, but I don't really like pimiento. Zucchini or fresh red onion in dips, broccoli in soups or stews. I'd like additional ideas myself!
Are red peppers more mild than yellow peppers?
If you are talking about bell peppers, yellow is supposed to be milder than red. A green bell pepper, if left on the plant will turn either yellow or red ( depending on the variety. ) Myself, I haven't noticed much difference between yellow and red. And I prefer the green for flavor . . . but allow a few to go to yellow or red for color.
