Default Bell Pepper Pith

Do you eat it? Tastes fine to me. Why do people throw it out?

They do it on the cooking shows. I agree that it doesn't taste bad.

Really? What cooking shows? I used to watch the Food Network all the time and I never noticed them use the pith.

No they remove it. It's not worth the effort IMO.

Consistency within the food. Do the following tests:

Saute pepper pith, saute pepper flesh. Which tastes better, which has a better feel on the teeth?

boil pepper pith in chicken broth, boil pepper flesh in chicken broth. Which tastes better, which has a better feel on the teeth?

Top a pizza with pepper pith, top a pizza with pepper flesh. Which tastes better, which has a better feel on the teeth?


By the way you don't throw it out you use it with the other portions of discarded veggies to make vegetable stock.
