Green Pepper
Grassy and slightly bitter with a crisp, watery crunch.
Lens analyzedA green pepper is a bell pepper picked before it ripens further into red, yellow, or orange, which is why it tastes grassier and slightly more bitter than its riper counterparts. It holds its shape well in stir-fries, fajitas, and stuffed pepper dishes.
Where it comes from
Bell peppers were domesticated in Central and South America, and green peppers are simply the same fruit harvested early rather than a separate variety.
Buying it
Choose peppers with taut, glossy skin that feel heavy for their size; wrinkled or dull skin means they've lost moisture.
Storing it
Keep green peppers in a cool, dry spot on the counter for a few days, or in the refrigerator crisper if you want them to stay firm longer.
Keeps about 10 days in the fridge.
