Poll: Who hates green bell peppers?

I've never seen the point of yellow, white or purple bell peppers, except for the colour. They don't seem to have as much flavour as either red or green.

Yellow are probably the least flavorful. However my biggest complaint about both yellow and orange is that they tend to be softer, less crisp. Big loss IMO.

I agree that white and purple peppers often don't deliver, but yellow peppers (at least the ones I buy) do have fresh sweetish flavor, and aside from the color they are great in dishes where you don't want the sometimes-overwhelming sweetness of red peppers.

Good call--I should have said 'mildest' instead of 'least flavorful'--I too choose them for this reason and didn't mean to make them sound unworthy. But still, they're often a little softer/less crisp than other colors and I have no idea why.

Just had a really crisp and flavorful orange bell pepper sliced up in my salad tonight. The CSA share this week had yellow, purple and orange peppers, not to mention a bunch of green and red jalapeños. Going to grill the jalapeños tomorrow.
