Bell Peppers
Pod shape: Bell
Bell peppers are C. annuum selected for thick walls, a blocky lobed shape and no capsaicin. The zero-heat trait comes from a recessive gene, pun1, that switches off capsaicinoid synthesis. A green bell is the unripe fruit of a plant that would ripen red, yellow or orange.
