This Green Pepper Turned This Color When We Got It Home
My wife bought some green peppers from the grocery store the other day. I only needed one of them to cook with, so the other just sat on the counter overnight. The next day it was yellowish red! What happened? I asked our resident foodie at work Steve if he knew. Here's what I learned.
It turns out all peppers of any color start of green. The sweet peppers change colors once they mature. So I really actually had a sweet pepper that was put in the wrong bin at the produce store.
I guess I got a pretty good deal, because we paid the much cheaper price for a green pepper. Too bad I was alarmed by the color change and threw it out. I'll know next time!
