okay, somebody please clear up this foggy information I have here -
I 've always heard - (as just mentioned in another thread here today) -
that you should not eat green peppers because they are not ripe- hence toxic-

Q: does that mean ONLY GREEN BELL PEPPERS - or is that refering to ALL peppers that are green... like pablano, jalapeno, etc?

sorry I'm confused on this matter... :rolleyes:
so since they are sold green in the store- that's because they are picked unripe- and by placing them in direct sunlight for a -day or two- they will all turn... red? yes? is that right?

Green Bell peppers are actually not ripe.

they will turn red in the sun.

there are thousands of variities of peppers, but the ones that we are speaking of here, are the green bell peppers very common in stores.

And yes, place them on a windowsill in the sun, and they should turn red.
