Do Bell Peppers Change Color After Picked?

Question of the Day: Do bell peppers change color after being picked?

Quick Answer: No, in most cases, bell peppers will not change colors once picked.

The color of bell pepper is an indicator of its ripeness. All bell peppers start green and most change to red, orange, or yellow as they mature.  Generally, once you remove a bell pepper from the plant, it will not continue to ripen.
