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 :-)

Does raw green pepper have a high sodium content?
Black pepper is a mixture of many compounds, some of which do contain sodium. However, it is part of a chemical, not free.
Why does a yellow pepper taste sweeter than a green pepper?
There are many different types of peppers or chiles, but I assume this question is asking about bell peppers. A green bell pepper (which we often just refer to as a green pepper) is actually a fruit that is unripe. These peppers change colors as they ripen, going from yellow to orange and to red. They are sold in all these stages of ripening, causing us to refer to them as green, yellow, and red peppers as if they are different peppers.
As the bell pepper ripens, like many other fruits, its sugars start to develop. This is when some of the starches in the pepper are converted to simple sugars. Now, a bell pepper does not have as many sugars as, for instance, an apple, but it does have some. The riper the pepper, the sweeter it becomes. So, a yellow pepper is a bit sweeter than a green pepper, and a red pepper is sweeter than a yellow pepper.
How long do red bell peppers last unrefrigerated?
It really depends on how you keep them. If you keep them in the fridge, they'll last for about 3-4 weeks, but they might dry out during that time. There are hardly any calories in a pepper. Hope this helps a bit! ;)
Is green peppers toxic to dogs?
