Here’s a bell pepper guide so you’ll know when to use each of these peppers.

Green Bell Pepper:
This is the least ripened out of the bunch. They’re a bit more bitter and earthy than the others. They’re probably my least favorite. 

Yellow Bell Pepper:
This is a little more ripened than the green and it’s great if you want to add some color and a little sweetness to your dish. 

Orange Bell Pepper:
Orange and yellow peppers are interchangeable for a lot of recipes since the orange is only moderately sweeter than the yellow. 

Red Bell Pepper:
This is the ripest and the sweetest of the bunch, which is why I use this more often in my dishes. It is also the most nutrient-dense of the four options. 

Use this guide and the next time you’re at the market, you’ll be able to pick the best pepper for your needs. 

– Chef Mike
