Why only green peppers?

[sandrac02]

Hi

Why can you have only green peppers ? Why not red, yellow or orange?

If I had the other colours would it make much difference?

Thanks

Re: Why only green peppers?

You can have any kind of peppers.

Different peppers will have different carb counts though.

Re: Why only green peppers?

my book says pepers in the acceptable salad veggies for induction chapter 11 DANDR 2002. that means any pepper hot and spice or bell type. any color any shape fixed any way that doesn't use illegal ingredeints. so you can have jalepenos or sweet red bell peppers purple peppers orange yellow too and if you have a mouth of aspestoes you could even do the white ghost peppers.

Aaaaah thank you as I brought some small mixed coloured ones, which I love. Then looked on the induction food list and it stated green peppers.

Re: Why only green peppers?

They probably specify green ones just because they are the most common and, I think, best tasting.

Hi Sandra!!!!

You can eat any color peppers that you like. Personally, I stay away from the green ones because I've heard a few reports that they ARE actually "green"....not ripe and not great for the tummy at that stage....but hey, that's just my personal opinion and I notice I do feel better eating the others so maybe there is some truth to that...just thought I would share.

Some people love the green ones and if you're one of those people terrific, I'm sure they're not harmful or anything like that at that color stage (I don't want anyone reading my post and thinking I might be implying they're harmful to eat at that stage).

My favorites are the orange ones...drooool, droool, LOL!!!

Have a fabulous day!

Hi Sandra,

What list says "green peppers". Where is the list? If it is here online on the ADBB, maybe someone can fix it. My book just says peppers. Good for all of us it is any peppers... Like Sarina, I like the orange and red peppers better than green, too.

Re: Why only green peppers?

The list I have was from this site, sorry it wasnt the induction list, it was the list which converts cups into either grams or oz's.

Thanks x

Re: Why only green peppers?

whew glad you fixed that.
Peppers can cause confusion even for by the book vets. We had a mod back in o2 who had lost 90 pounds was cheat free by the book as they came and she told a newbie jalepenos were not allowed. She didn't know jalepenos were peppers and that word was not on her list so no it wasn't legal at least until she found out they were peppers from another mod's post.
