Bell Peppers
Sweet bell peppers are exactly the same family, genus and species as hot peppers: Solanaceae Capsicum annuum. There SR values are in the single digits. Of the varieties we are growing this year, perhaps "Islander" the most intriguing. Unlike other cultivars, which start off green and then ripen to red, sometimes to yellow or that hybrid international orange, these are initially lilac in color, ripening to a rich red. (I also find them easier on the digestion when served raw as compared to other bells.)
Sweet chocolate is another mild variety, with a dark green skin and almost brick red flesh. It is excellent for stuffing!
Yankee Bell is a nonhybrid bred for northern climes. Spicy and nice both green and red.
