According to Author Lionel Wafer´s Book: The Voyage and Descritpion of the Isthmus of America:
The big red bells are quite sweet .. The greens are a bit " Sharp " raw .. I like them sautéed ( Green) in a "Sofrito" ( Green bell, red bell, onion, garlic, tomato ) which is the base of an authentic Paella or Noodle Paella, called Fideuà and many other sauces and stews .. Rices as well ..
Bell Peppers:
This 9, 000 year old nightshade vegetable goes from Green to Red when fully ripe on exterior or: Green to Gold when fully ripe on exterior .. They are also from different Cultivars and do not contain Cayenne ..
There are only 2 stages ..
They all have a slightly different flavor profile.
Of course one store sells at least 8 different varieties of chile peppers.
Peppers is one food that we have an abundance of.
