Peppers inside peppers
Not infrequently when my wife and I purchase sweet bell peppers, we'll
cut them open only to discover that there's what appears to be a tiny little pepper growing inside. Does anyone know what causes this to happen, and perhaps more importantly, are these little pepperlets edible? Oh, sometimes they're the same color as the "main" pepper, but sometimes they're rather different (usually green in a red or orange pepper). Are there maybe two different phenomena going on here? |

The 'inner twin' may not be as ripe as the outer pepper, thus the different color. -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
