You think that's something? Just wait until you learn about bell peppers.

Seriously between that and now beans I'm convinced there are actually only like five different types of vegetables.

If it makes you feel any better, all the food you eat is just different levels of processed sunlight

Oh I went down that rabbit hole when I was growing jalepeños a couple years ago. Started crossbreeding them with every pepper I could get my hands on.

I don’t know much about bell peppers. I’m guessing the yellow ones are African, green europe, blue America?

They are all the exact same plant. They change color the longer they are allowed to ripen. green > yellow > orange > red.

Yes and no. Green bell peppers are underripe. But the final color depends on the variety. A red bell pepper doesn't turn yellow or orange, just directly to red. Yes, it looks odd!

Purple peppers and white peppers also exist.

Source: my parents like to grow them.

It's all about form factor. Pinto and Kidney have a nice skin that holds in the starchy goodness.

Green beans melt and spew out their guts.

Try just lightly steamed fresh green beans

bite one to try it and just when it feels soft and kind of squeaky between your teeth, toss them in a pan with some butter, slivered almonds and dried cranberries.

I don't think you meant to list green beans. You wanted wax beens.

My Aunt would grow green beans and let them mature on the plant, then pick them after the pods dried and shell the beans out. She would have a winter's supply of small white dried beans not unlike Great Northern beans.

Nope definitely green beans like the ones you get from a can, they are the immature sprouts of the same species.

The first paragraph of the article reads:

>Phaseolus vulgaris, the common bean,[3] is a herbaceous annual plant grown worldwide for its edible dry seeds or green, unripe pods.

The words "green, unripe pods" contains a link to the Wikipedia article on green beans.

Reminds me of how many varieties of plant are derived from cabbage. (Broccoli, Cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprout, etc). I hate them all
