What's the difference between green, yellow, red, and orange peppers.?!
Answers: i want to know all the differences including taste.
Red is a fully ripe pepper,yellow is almost ripe and green is not ripe.Red peppers are the sweetest and green can be slightly bitter or flavour-less. peppers start off green,left long enough on the plant they turn red,the yellow is a different variety altogether. Green peppers will eventually turn red if left on the plant long enough. They will also turn sweeter, unless its a jalapeno, when they turn red they actually get hotter rather than sweeter and that goes for most of the hot pepper varieties including habaneros and saranos. Bell peppers are sweeter when they are red.
The color . If you are talking sweet peppers they basically all taste the same . Just look good color wise in dishes and full of flavor !
AGE!.........They start out green to yellow to red. They even go beyond that but you never see it....(I assume orange is the stage between yellow and red)
