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.
