I was told today that green peppers shouldn't be eaten raw as they are sharp and can perforate your innards. This sounds like a load of rubbish to me but has anyone else heard about it?

It's a load of poop...lol

and red,yellow and orange peppers are just RIPER versions of green ones....that does not mean the green should not be eaten.

where the hell do people get these ideas??
raw peppers might give you wind, nothing else.
Mushrooms make me trump.
Sophie, sorry but this is rubbish. We eat salads all the time with chopped red green and yellow peppers, the consistency is the same in all of them - anyway, any "sharp" bits would soon be mushed down by the chemicals in your stomach!

My grandma told me that if I ate the apple core complete with pips that an apple tree would grow in my stomach, and that if an earwig crept into my ear in the night it would nest and eat into my brain. I spent most nights with my hair stuffed in my ears to keep the earwigs away.
My other grandma told me that you should never wash your hair when you have a period, and that if you stand on your head all your innards rush up to the top and might settle down again in the wrong places. Those were ladies born in the late 1890s so they had the wrong end of the stick - it sounds like your customer has, too!

No need to apologise boxtops, I said myself I thought it was rubbish! Just wondered if it was like any of the others mentioned on here that have been told to people by their grannies or just one the man made up himself lol!
Load of rubbish, either that or all these recipes will kill you.

Sorry pasta, I work in a garden centre and bought some peppers to grow this year, red, yellow, and green are different sorts of peppers, but they do need sun to ripen, no amount of sun will turn a green bell pepper red, unfortunately due to lack of sun my red and yellow peppers didn't change colour but i still used them and they all tasted the same.

If two people pour from the same tea pot you get ginger twins!!
Granny told me that one - can't wonder I'm bonkers. x
