Choosing the right bell pepper: how to tell a boy pepper from a girl pepper - take note
Bell pepper is a vegetable that is included in many dishes.
Sweet peppers are also eaten with pleasure, even live.
However, not everyone knows that bell peppers have male and female "sex". Let's figure out how to tell if you have a girl or a boy in front of you and how the fruits differ from each other.
Pepper-boy and pepper-girl: how to determine
Peppers of the two sexes differ not only in appearance, but also in taste. Therefore, it is important to know what kind of fruit you have in front of you in order to correctly determine the dish for it.
It's easy to tell whether you have a girl or a boy in your hands. Turn the fruit upside down and count the mounds: a girl pepper has four, and a boy pepper has three.
Besides appearance, boys and girls differ in taste.
The first ones are better for stewing and frying, since the boy peppers are distinguished by their sourness and denser structure.
In turn, girl peppers are juicier and sweeter, so they are ideal for slicing into salads.
