When it comes to categorizing peppers as a fruit or vegetable, they seem to have qualities that fit into each category. Veggies are often crunchy, and crispy, just like bell peppers. Fruits are sweet, colorful, and loaded with vitamin C just like bell peppers, too. But because peppers grow from a flower and contain fertilized seeds, they are, indeed, a member of the fruit family. Furthermore, those four varieties of bell peppers we love so much — green, yellow, orange, and red — are actually all the same fruit in different stages of maturity.
While peppers may be a more believable fruit than, let's say, zucchini, it's true that they are commonly referred to as a vegetable. Peppers are most often used in savory dishes like stir-frys, tacos, and pasta sauces, and they are typically paired alongside other roasted vegetables. But bell peppers aren't the only peppery fruits out there. All hot peppers like jalapeños, chili peppers, and poblano peppers are fruits, too. Who would have guessed that you'd be heating up your dish with fiery fruit, or sprinkling hot fruit flakes on your entrée to spice things up? I guess jalapeño jam makes a little more sense when you have all of your facts.
