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

But how many beans do you eat in a George Wendt bean-eating movie?

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

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.

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.

Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and brussel sprouts are also all the same species.

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.

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.
