What are bell peppers?

Bell peppers are colorful peppers that looks like the shape of bells, hence the name bell peppers.

They are also known as capsicum.

Bell peppers are available in different colors, depending on the stage of ripening.

When they are young, they are green in color.

But they turn yellow, orange and red as they ripen.

Green bell peppers do not have any sweet flavor, but it’s just enough spicy in flavor.

Yellow bell peppers have the most sweet flavor and they are also know as sweet peppers with the bright yellow color.

Though the red bell peppers are more ripened than yellow peppers, they lack the sweet flavor that the yellow peppers have.
