The fruit
The peppers can be red or green in color. The heat producing part of the plant actually has no color at all.
No, red pepper is not a stem. Red pepper is a fruit that grows from the flowering part of the plant, known as the ovary. The stem of the pepper plant supports the fruit but is not the same as the fruit itself.
the red pepper you eat IS the fruit. am i missing something here?
When it is red, not green.
Fruit. Almost anything with seeds inside is a fruit. (the seeds of peppers are the spiciest part) Common misconceptions: Figs and strawberries are not fruit. The 'seeds' are the actual fruit.
Chilis... green, yellow, red, or polka-dotted ... are the fruit of the chili plant.
Pepper plants can be identified by their small white flowers, shiny green leaves, and the shape and color of their fruits, which can range from green to red to yellow. They also have a distinct spicy aroma when the leaves are crushed.
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.
green or red
Pepper plants can be red, green, sometimes orange
A suitable substitute for green bell pepper in this recipe could be red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, or poblano pepper.
