Bell Pepper varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common bell pepper varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Green | Cooking and stuffing: picked unripe, grassy and slightly bitter, less sweet but firm and crunchy; the cheapest and holds its shape. |
| Yellow | Salads and roasting: ripened further, mild and mellow with moderate sweetness and a softer bite. |
| Orange | Salads, roasting, and fajitas: nearly ripe, sweet and mild, between yellow and red in flavour. |
| Red | Raw, roasting, and sauces: fully ripe, sweetest and fruitiest with the softest flesh and the most vitamin C. |
Which should I pick?
For raw eating and roasting, a Red bell pepper is the pick: ripest, sweetest, and softest. No red? Yellow or Orange give the same sweet, mild flavour with a slightly firmer bite, good in salads and fajitas. A Green pepper is the cheapest and firmest, less sweet and a little grassy, best when you want it to hold its shape in stir-fries and stuffing.
