Question:

Is there a difference between red and green peppers(yellow also)?

thats all


Answers:
i think green and red is the same, the only difference is the colour

If they are all bell peppers, then the only significant diferrence is the color.

yeah.... there color is different but they all taste the same and SPICY!!

Personally I think red are sweeter than green.
I also like yellow, and orange. They bring nice color to dishes, are pleasing to the eye.

As far as taste, (and assuming that you're just talking about regular bell peppers) the green ones do have a different taste, in that the red and yellow are much sweeter

They start out green and will ripen into red, yellow, orange, and even purple! Mature peppers have more nutritional value. Green Bell Peppers have a stronger flavor while the mature colorful selection are sweeter. Hot peppers are milder when green and immature and get hotter as they ripen into their color.

Actually they are the same pepper in different stages of maturity. Green is the immature color. Then they turn red. The next stage is the orange and yellow. The orange and yellow are really more mild than the green. Green peppers are stronger and more bitter than the other colors.

Yes, if you plant green peppers and don't pick all of them when green, you will get different colored peppers. Enjoy! Are good.

The difference that I have experienced with the different colors of peppers is the taste. Red is supposed to be hotter while the green and yellow ones a little less mild. These peppers are usually used together in Italian foods. They are very closely related and are always a good combination.

hmm i think yes
Red because we canot eat it with our food...
Green because people eat it in their food
red we put in food but we cant eat it...

well nice question.......

red peppers are sweeter, contain much more vit c, green are the most bitter of the peppers, yellow are great for color but not as flavorful as the red, basically red peppers rock.

These answers are all correct, different stages of ripeness. That is why the price difference too. Greens are always much less expensive because they don't take as long to ripen in the field.

I read that the only difference is when there picked. they change colors from green to yellow to orange to red. Green peppers are the cheapest because there picked first . with less growing time.the longer the growing time the sweeter the pepper.

Red, green and yellow peppers are different......one does not ripen into the other as I have read here.

Green peppers are what some would call bitter,

Red peppers have a strong yet sweet flavor

Yellow peppers are mild

There are even purple peppers and all kinds of different colors and flavors.

orange too....google this....
