When choosing bell peppers, buyers rarely pay attention to the number of chambers at the bottom of the vegetable.
And in vain, because the characteristics of the fetus depend on this indicator.
It is worth paying attention to the following fact right away: the number of chambers can be used to determine the “gender” of a vegetable.
If the pepper has three chambers, then we are talking about a "boy". But if the fruit has four chambers, then it is a "girl".
The choice should depend on what kind of dish a person plans to prepare.
Features of three-chambered peppers
“Male” fruits are hard, so they can be safely heated in the oven or placed in boiling liquid.
Three-chambered vegetables are the perfect base for stuffed peppers.
In addition, the diced three-chambered fruit will be an excellent ingredient for soup.
Features of four-chambered peppers
But the "girl" pepper is softer. In addition, this fruit is distinguished by its sweet taste.
Heating will deprive the vegetable of its bright aroma. Therefore, such a fruit is not suitable for boiling, frying and baking.
But you can safely eat it fresh. In addition, such pepper will be an ideal component for a light vegetable salad.
