Green/Red/Yellow
Good quality sweet peppers should be firm, fresh-looking, and brightly colored. All sweet peppers are green at the immature state. As the peppers mature, they turn color. The most predominant color for a mature sweet pepper is red, although other colors are also available including gold, purple, orange, and brown. Because the sugar content increases as a sweet pepper matures, colored peppers tend to be sweeter than green peppers. These are free of cholesterol and saturated fats, as well as high in vitamin C. Store in plastic bags and refrigerate.
