I get those often! Coincidently they're only in my organic ones lol, or is there something to that!?

[heabrook]

Wow that's..... um... wow. I find that to be very interesting. I wonder what causes that?

humm, I tried to do some research on it but I don't know what to search for... you can't exactly search for pregnant bell peppers. I guess it will remain a mystery :p

I've seen that before with conventionally-grown bell peppers. It's not just an organic thing.

I figured that. Just thought it was interesting on my part. I guess it's luck lol?

[rawpriestess]

I've bought those too.


the ones that are the most fun are the red ones with baby green ones inside,
since the red ones all start out green anyway, this is no surprise, but it sure is cute.

I imagine that one of the seeds simply starts to grow.

but they are so cute, little madona peppers.

I think you're right about the seed growing... interesting that it grows into a fruit, not a plant!!!

Cheers,
Sheryl

[rawpriestess]

Oh Sheryl, you are right, it should grow into a plant, but a seed, hummm


that IS strange, well interesting. :o)

[juliebove]

I get those a lot! Especially the plump red ones.

I'm assuming that these are the bell pepper equivalent of siamese twins.

I had a yellow one with a green "twin" one time. I took pictures too - don't know where it is now - that was our pre-digital phase. They do look really cool don't they?
