I have a bell that's black skinned but, still green inside. That's freaky the first one you cut. 😁 It tastes like a traditional green.

The red, yellow & orange are definitely sweeter...nice in some salads, when you want a milder taste. They're pretty, too. I make a good red pepper jelly. 😌

i don't find much flavor in the yellow or orange ones compared to the greens (and those which turn red or other colors).

i've really enjoyed finding a milder hot pepper to grow here which does not complain about our garden soils or conditions. very productive pepper for me (Beaver Dam). the flavor is mild compared to green pepper, but very acceptable compared to what i've gotten in the past from Jalapenos. i love roasted red peppers, and after roasting them in the oven to where they just get some black on the edges i hot pack them into jars and put those in the freezer - they keep for a few years at least (i've never not used them up within two years to know exactly when they seem to go off). leave a bit of head space to allow for expansion but otherwise they have enough sugar concentration that i've never had them spoil when kept frozen.

last night was spaghetti and a lone meatball from the freezer. put a bit of grated parmesian on it. very good for a quick meal.

I like the Anaheims. I use them the same way as Bells. Just a tiny bit of heat in them. They grow well here, toom
