Bell peppers contain the most Vitamin C of any fruit or vegetable.
They are botanically categorised as fruits because they contain seeds and are produced by the plant's flower.
All bell peppers start out green. Yellow, orange, red, and purple are all stages of ripening, with varying degrees of sweetness.
Peppers gained their name from the Greek word pipari, which means black spice.
They were utilised in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of medical issues.
They are not grown seasonally, allowing them to be consumed all year.
They will not burn your tongue because they do not contain capsaicin, as other peppers do.
