Different colored Capsicum ...

Do they vary greatly in taste ???

I normally like to use the Green one , coz I think it retains its taste in stir fry’s and even desi dishes … the yellow and the red ones jsut lose their aroma and taste …

yellow one is probably best for salads , coz it doesnt have a very strong taste …

I spoke to a friend recently and she said they all taste the same and the only thing different is their color … what do you guys say?

Re: Different colored Capsicum ...

I also usually use the green bell peppers. However I actually like using all three in stir-fry's or fajitas because it just gives the dish more color.

The green bell peppers have a stronger taste and are more bitter. On the other hand the yellow and red ones are............I would almost say sweeter? Don't know what I would exactly call it. It depends on the bell pepper, but most green ones are just unripe red ones.

I think I've used all three in a sitr fry for color....I haven't really noticed a strong difference in taste between them.

Re: Different colored Capsicum ...

The red and yellow do tend to be more sweeter than the green bell pepper. It isn't a drastic change however.
The different colors just brighten up your dish, don't change the flavor.

Re: Different colored Capsicum ...

the reds are sweeter, and are nutritionally superior. they are also a bit more expensive as they are the same green peppers that have to stay on the plant longer until they ripen.

colored bell pepper has more of fruity flavor. yesterday, i used baby yellow and red pepper in baingan and it gave a very delicious and distinct flavor to baingain.

Re: Different colored Capsicum ...

the usage depends what you cooking. red peppers go well with stir frys, green peppers on piuzzas, yehllow N orange peppers in salads to give color. :)
