Tuesday's Tips & Tricks: Bell Peppers

You can find lots of information on the internet.  Some true, some not, and some you just don't know.  I got an email asking what the difference was between a bell pepper with 3 lobes and one with 4 lobes. 

When I first started cooking, my Mom said there was not a difference in the peppers with 3 or 4 lobes.  Each pepper is slightly different.  But the flavor is due to when it was picked and where it was grown.

According to some information on the web, a pepper with 3 lobes is sweeter to eat.  A pepper with 4 lobes is better for cooking.  But, when I checked other sites, they say there is no difference in taste or cooking.  It is just a variation that occurs during the growing process. 

Can you tell a difference in taste between a bell pepper with 3 lobes and one with 4 lobes?
