Green bell peppers different plant from colored bell peppers?
Comments (7)Green bells are immature. They turn colors when ripe, the color depending on which variety you are growing. Most turn red. Others are just about rainbow colored, ranging from red to yellow to somewhat purple to almost black. It takes time and patience and a careful watch for insects and diseases to get to the colored stage. (I don't know of any that stay green through maturity but there may be some that do.) The mature ones taste differently, usually much milder and sweeter. Sandy...See MoreWhat are your favorite bell peppers or sweet peppers?
Comments (27)I would just recommend try different plants and see what you prefer. Some are called "frying peppers" and for "pickling" for a reason, depends on what you want. For bells I like "Golden Summer", very large plants that have light green peppers that are good tasting even before they ripen beautifully. "Flavorburst" is somewhat similar, with light green unripe peppers that are good also. "Big Bertha" is a very nice hybrid to red bell. "Corno di Toro" and "Carmen" are excellent bull horn peppers, sweet peppers at their best. "Giant Marconi" is a very nice long pepper, Burpee's "Big Daddy" is a vigorous ripen to yellow Marconi type pepper....See MoreHot pepper jelly - can I use banana peppers instead of bell?
Comments (3)Yes you can sub peppers for peppers as long as the total measured amounts are kept the same. Flavor is bound to be altered since banana peppers have more heat in them than bells. Whether that flavor change is acceptable only you can decide. Scoville rating for bells is zero but the rating for banana peppers ranges from 100-900. Dave...See MoreKnow of any truly mild Jalapenos? Best tasting superhots?
Comments (8)My favorite tasting hot chile of all is the hot paper lantern (I get from Johnny's seeds or Tomato Grower's). It's a form of habanero, long, pointy and red when ripe. They're very easy to grow, prolific and hot, but I no longer consider "ordinary" habaneros as super hots. I do think that they're well over 100,000 SHU though. For a milder heat, I don't think you can get a better flavor than a Hatch type like NuMex 6-4, Joe E Parker or Big Jim. The Heritage 6-4 is an old strain, rebred by the Chile Peper Institute to bring back the original flavor. They're awesome! They also not have a Heritage Big Jim. For a slightly hotter version, try the Sandia....See Moretrsinc
