They're on the one of the tastiest vegetables in the world. Fresh, grilled, roasted, tossed in a salad or on top of a pizza, chances are you eat peppers all the time.

Well, if this didn't shock you, guess what: peppers are a fruit. 

 

 

Feeling hungry? Here's how to make super tasty marinated red peppers.
