Bell peppers

What’s the difference in green, yellow, orange, red bell peppers?
I’ve only ever used green, is that much of a difference in the others?

It has to do with how long the pepper is allowed to mature. Green is more bitter where red is sweeter.

There is no difference.
They are the same thing, just picked at different stages of ripeness.

Thus the reason yellow, orange and red bell peppers are more expensive. They sit on the bushes longer to get to that color, so less turnover in the field waiting for them to ripen to the desired color.

Each one has it's own flavor profile
Green has the most neutral flavor and can pretty much accent any dish without overpowering it
Red, orange and yellow can really alter the taste of a dish because they have a more distinct flavor. They tend to be a little spicier and even a little bitter like one of the posters above stated
Red will be a little on the sweeter side. Yellow and orange will be a little more on the spicy side

Roasted red peppers are excellent and they make a great sauce.

Pretty sure it’s just different varieties that have 3 or 4 lobes. Doesn’t have anything to do with male or female.

If you're adding them to a dish like jambalaya, the difference is mainly visual. If the dish centers around the pepper you may notice the more ripe peppers to be a little sweeter and/or less bitter. I made the switch from green bellpeppers to poblanos a few years ago and haven't looked back.

Flowers can be of different sexes. Some of them are both. (Habaneros fall into that category so I assume all peppers do.)
Fruits don’t have sexes. You’re biologically challenged if you think there’s such a thing as male and female peppers.
