Thank you so much! Thank you, Meg Marcelo, for reading my article about the different colors of bell peppers. I really enjoy sharing information like that with others. Brenda, I am glad you learned something from reading my article about the various colors of bell peppers.
Most people didn't know that all bell peppers are not the same and do not cost the same in the grocery stores. G'pa J for reading and responding to my article. I write about things I am curious about. Then I share with my readers. I honestly didn't know that. Really thought they were different varieties. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the information. I had thought that the red ones were dearer as they were more popular, but it turns out the green ones are more popular and cheaper too. I had wondered if the different colors were different varieties. This was a very interesting article. In fact I was just in the grocery store buying a green pepper and saw that the red one was more expensive. I stood there for a moment pondering why is that. Very good information.
On my next visit I will try a red one. Coffeequeeen, thanks for reading and commenting.

In general, bell peppers are a vegetable rich in vitamin C. The vitamin C content of bell peppers is actually more than that found in an orange and, actually, have about 2 and 3 times more of this essential vitamin in green and red bell peppers, respectively. Vitamin C is important for us to consume because it is necessary for the growth and repair of bodily tissues, wound healing, and also in our ability to absorb iron. Bell peppers contain the vitamins B6, K, A, and E, as well and minerals and cancer-fighting antioxidants help pack the nutritional punch the vegetables provide.
As bell peppers change color, their antioxidant profiles change as well. In green bell peppers, leutin is the primary antioxidant which, along with zeaxanthin, plays a key role in the health of our vision. Lycopene is also found in red bell peppers and is known for its cancer-fighting properties when working along-side other carotenoids. Red bell peppers are the most nutrient-dense variety of the bell pepper species. Amy: Wow! All those vitamins and antioxidants!
This makes it seem that red bell peppers are the best option when deciding which bell pepper color to purchase. Jess: Yes, red bell peppers are a great option at the grocery store, nutritionally. It's not a matter of pigment discrimination: Red and yellow bell peppers are essentially just green peppers that have been allowed to ripen. Red peppers are fully ripened, and they require more time to grow, resulting in their sweeter, fruitier flavor and higher price sticker.
On the other hand, since green bell peppers can be harvested sooner, they're cheaper to grow and sell, in addition to having a trademark grassy, mildly bitter flavor. Yellow peppers are simply in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to ripeness though some varieties remain yellow when fully mature.
As they ripen, bell peppers also vary in nutritional content. According to The Science Explorer , while green peppers aren't an unhealthy choice by any means, their more mature and wizened older brothers and sisters have around twice the amount of vitamin C and almost nine times more beta-carotene.
