The green bell pepper is picked earlier. If they left it on the plant
to ripen fully it would turn red. In other words, the red (and yellow
and orange) peppers take more time from planting to harvest. For a
farmer that means they are costlier, hence the price is higher. I
don't have any idea why nutrition or vitamin content would change.
Not saying it's not different, I just don't know. -aem
