QuestionCan I leave a bell pepper to turn red just by itself?This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerYes, this is possible, provided that there is already some redness on the pepper. Place it into a dark, cool cupboard for a few days. Over this time, it will change color from green to an orangey-red. It will also be a little sweeter than when just green.

QuestionHow long does it take to turn red?Community AnswerIf your seed packet says 6 weeks until maturity, that's not accurate. Peppers may be ready to eat at that time, even if they're still green. However, it can take 2-3 more weeks after maturity for a bell pepper to turn red.

QuestionDo I remove lower leaves to help ripening?Community AnswerRemoving the leaves to speed up ripening only works when the pepper is still on the vine. In this case, removing the leaves would cause little to no changes to the process, although it wouldn't hurt.
