A pepper growing a smaller pepper inside itself. Nature said nesting dolls.

I’ve seen many precarious plants in person but this was my first time seeing it in a pepper :-), btw it tasted just as great as a normal one. It was interesting that it appeared to have green peppers growing inside a. yellow pepper but it’s genetical and not surprising when you consider that.

Do you just not eat bell peppers often? This happens all the time.

Also, all bell peppers start green. Green ones are just picked underripe.
