I don't particularly care for peppers - I'll eat them on a pizza or in a fajita but that's about it.
I buy green most of the time as it's inexpensive and DD14 will eat one a day if given the chance. For fajitas, I usually buy a variety.

Any color but green. If a recipe calls for green, I’ll sub one of the other colors. I’m in the despise green bell peppers club.

I do not care for bell peppers, and to me, green is the absolute worst. I can’t even eat a pizza if there are green bell peppers that have been picked off because of the flavor they leave behind. Even the smell physically bothers me, there is some about the dryness of the smell that sets me off. This is me. Despise them. me too, can't stand any of them. I'll eat jalapeños on occasion but only in very small amounts |

I grew up in Michigan and we never called them bell peppers. They were always green peppers. Consequently, I only like the green ones.

I like roasted red peppers. I’ve never seen any other colors roasted like red ones.
I don’t like raw peppers of any color.
I love the way green peppers smell. I don’t like them raw and I don’t like them cooked. I don’t mind things cooked with green peppers and then I pick the green peppers out—like pizza or even stuffed peppers. I like the stuffing and just remove the actual peppers. Weird, I know. There’s just something about the actual pepper texture that I don’t like.
My ds (9yo) loves raw peppers of all colors. He loves the little sweet peppers that come in a bag of red/yellow/orange but he’ll also eat sliced green peppers. Not sure where he got that from, but I’m not about to stop him!

Yeah, I’m still believing there’re the same. I like living in my own reality. I’m very happy here. Lol!! |

It’s interesting that a few people have said they can’t taste a difference between the colors. How on earth? Green peppers are awful. That’s all I’d ever had in foods growing up. I never knew I liked peppers until I had red peppers in something. Now I use red, yellow, and orange all the time.

It’s sort of true that red and green peppers are the same. But for commercial growers, it’s likely that you will get a variety that has been developed to become red, yellow, orange, or purple. Green peppers will eventually turn red, but most won’t be fully red like you see in the grocery store. And the other colored varieties have been bred to grow to maturity of those colors. So everyone is sort of correct.

Green is my favorite. Hubby likes red, yellow, or orange. When I make stuffed peppers, I have to buy all colors.  |

I chose red but I love red, orange and yellow. Green is not as mild as the other colors.

Yes. I much prefer yellow and orange.
Red is ok. I don't mind green but only in small amounts to add flavor. Example, I love to order Pepper Steak when we order Chinese takout. However I don't eat the green peppers, I do like the flavor they add, but I eat around them. I like them on pizza, but much prefer when they are chopped finely and there aren't too many.

Uh, RED, obviously (said Really Red)
I like red because I love the color they add to food. For taste? I don't taste the difference. I also like the orange.

I like bell peppers, but they don't like me. . For some odd reason I can't digest them. As far as color, I don't think I ever saw anything but green peppers until I got a lot older. My parents grew bell peppers and always used them for stuffed peppers as soon as they were big enough. The red, orange and yellow colored peppers didn't show up in grocery stores for years. Just green. And why are the colored peppers always way more money around here? What's up with that? |

I've never really noticed a difference.
Then again, if I'm buying them, it's 3 packs of 3 from Aldi for taco meatloaf stuffed peppers week, and I don't care what colors I get.

Yellow, red, or orange. I CANNOT eat green - they give me esophageal spasms, feels like a major heart attack!

Red with 4, not 3, bumps! These options are best nutritionally apparently. I always look for my red four bumps too. |

The taste changes when they go from green to red or orange or yellow. More mellow. I hate green peppers, they're disgusting and I also have a food sensitivity to them.

I love red, yellow, and orange peppers, but I just tend to grab the biggest/best looking ones. What is better about 4 bumps? I am not a huge fan of green peppers. I like them cooked in things, but to eat peppers raw chopped into a salad or sliced to eat with dip/hummus, only the red/yellow/orange ones. Green peppers raw taste so bitter to me. |

tiphero.com/bell-pepper-bumpsNote, it says 4 bumps isn’t any “better” than 3, but that they tend to be sweeter and therefore go down more easily IF you’re eating them raw. If you’re cooking them, the 3-bump ones are better. Also note, it says that bell peppers are NOT male or female, which seems to be the (internet meme) thing with the 3 or 4 bumps.

Same here. The Burpee website was a good source. They have seeds for different colored pepper varieties. That seemed the best source from what I was finding in my 3 minute search! |

Purple are my favorite, followed by red, orange and yellow. Green peppers bother my stomach.
I grew purple peppers in my garden last year and loved them- even more fun is that the leftovers change color to a more blue color.

I love them all, raw or cooked. I love all vegetables except for okra.
My favorite is red, followed by green, then orange and then yellow.
I was lucky growing up. My mother was a good cook and every meal included vegetables so I got used to eating them and was exposed to many growing up. We lived on a small farm when I was 12 until I was 19 so we had a ton of fresh veggies then. I remember going out into the corn field and picking fresh corn to have as a snack.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a purple pepper and I’m still hunting for scientific sources on the pepper color question. I’m reading a lot more than I ever imagined about peppers 😜 |
