Another way you know that peppers are fruits is because they bloom before they form the fruit. Green Beans are actually fruits because they bloom. Mike

I never knew if it was true or not. I decided to try to do some research and I looked it up. Basically, the myth is not true. Peppers are a fruit because it has seeds. Anything with seeds is considered a fruit. Fruits, including peppers, have no gender. The bumps do not mean it is a certain sex. It is just due to the variety of the pepper. Here is a link on what I read. http://www.coloradovegan.com/?p=2028 Andrea Stone Avon Independent Sales Representative [email protected] http://www.youravon.com/astone86 ________________________________ From: Wendy Williams <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 6, 2013 3:39 PM Subject: [CnD] pepper bumps Someone told me a pepper (green, red, yellow) with 3 bumps on the bottom means it is maile & used for cooking. Four bumps on the bottom means it is female & to be eaten raw, as in salads.
