The main difference between green and red bell peppers is their level of ripeness.

This results in red bell peppers being sweeter and having a slightly different flavor compared to green bell peppers.

Do red bell peppers come from green bell peppers?
Yes red bell peppers come from green bell peppers, as do most bell peppers. They develop their color variances and flavor as they ripen. If you are growing bell peppers make sure you choose a variety you want, don't assume your green bell pepper will ripen into a lovely red as you may be disappointed and end up with a yellow or chocolate colored fruit. Variances are great and may vary immensely between (yellows, orange, reds, purple, and brown) Try growing the "Chianti Bell" It's a nice red bell pepper with a thick sweet hull. Yummmmmm :-)
How to prevent bell peppers from being bitter.?
I presume that the bitter peppers you are referring to are green. Bell peppers change from green to yellow, through orange into red as they ripen. The red ones are far sweeter than the green ones and green ones, by definition, are unripe. As you know, they can be eaten when green and unripe but when they are too unripe, they are bitter and taste unpleasant. The best way of ripening them is to leave them on the plant to ripen in the sun. This is fine if you grow them yourself. If you buy them, either pick yellow or red peppers if the recipe allows you to, or you can ripen the green ones a little once you have bought them by storing them a while longer before using them. They will not ripen enough to change color but they will be a little less bitter. Hope this helps.

How are yellow peppers different from green and red peppers?
The green pepper is harvested before completely ripening. The reason for the price difference between colored and green peppers is the amount of spoilage that occurs as you allow peppers to ripen. Ripened peppers have a very short shelf life compared to green. I think there is a problem inherent in the question. I have noticed that in America, the question makes sense, but in Europe, typically all colors of bell peppers are lumped together at the same price. I have always assumed this was due to the above statement, where in the US the price difference is due to the general nature of distribution and supply demand incorporating shelf life, where as, in Europe there is not as much market force, since most food is grown/sold somewhat locally, and the pressure is not that, since all the produce is typically 'fresh'. More feedback welcomed.
