Would you eat a banana that isn't yet ripe? or a sour, unripe apple? How about an immature
peach? What about an unripe bell pepper?
Did you think, "no, I wouldn't eat an unripe pepper"?
If you have ever eaten a green bell pepper you have consumed an unseasoned red bell pepper. You may have noticed that the green variety is mildly bitter comparably, and that is because... yes, you guessed it, the fruit is an unripe red bell pepper.
That is also the reason for green peppers being less expensive; less time to grow (they aren't even grown to full fruitarian) means much fewer resources required, thus costing farmers a fraction of what a red yield would.
Cost isn't the only reduction though. On the flipside, a mature pepper has approximately 100% more vitamin c than the juvenile. That being said, both options are exceptionally high sources for vitamin c. In fact, bell peppers have more vitamin c than good ol' trusty oranges.
Today I threw together a easy, but delicious plant based dinner that included red peppers.
We had:
- red pepper caesar salad
- basmati and jasmine rice with beef bits (plant based)
My daughter doesn't care for cooked carrots so I just chopped them up small and tossed them into the pan for 30 seconds to warm yet not cook. Same for onions.
I took some photos today while I was cooking and mixing about in the kitchen.
And one of my Daughter insisting that I don’t snap a photo of her. 😂

Ohh someone from Canada....AWESOME!!!
Sounds delicious 😋 isn't it?
I"m confused - what are those chunks? Is it meat?
It's plant based "beef" from Gardein brand. I am a very strict vegan.
Oh wow! Is it made of soy? That looks so real! Guilty of not reading post carefully - sorry, had a rough day!

Delicious looking meal, shame we didn't get to see the kiddo enjoying it. Now I'm wondering about the yellow bell pepper and how it fits into the scheme of things.
