The sweet pepper was popular in Spain and was referred to as "pimientos" to describe the red coloration and sweet taste. ... The fruit of a pepper plant is classified as a berry with colors ranging from green, yellow, red, purple, black, brown, white and orange. Green is an immature fruit, yet commonly eaten this way, and as the fruit matures it changes color. Color changes in most commercial cultivars are green to red, green to yellow or green to orange. 2, record 1, English, - sweet%20pepper
