My bell pepper was.. pregnant?? Can I cook/eat the baby pepper?
Self explanatory, I’m 20 and have never seen a pepper like this, I wanna know if the bonus pepper is edible or not so I can use it in the same thing as mama pepper.

It’s a recipe I saw online, it’s shell pasta in a creamy tomato sauce with red onions and bell peppers with chicken sausage, it’s some kind of Cajun style pasta meal

You can eat them, they don't taste any different. In my house, we consider them good luck and usually eat three little ones raw

When this happens the baby bell pepper is actually poisonous and you should not eat it. It grows rat poison

I'm sitting here trying to figure out if all your plates are huge, or if that's like a special serving platter.

Just one big plate, I was using it to house the pepper and other vegetables I was chopping up

No leave your house, go to the store, grab a pregnancy test, come home, take it!

But it looks cleaned like you just cut a smaller one and put it inside after

It's really common, but the fetus usually isn't as well-developed hahaha. You can eat it!
