There is a rumor circulating on the net that peppers have a gender. Peppers are neither female nor male, the dpa fact check reveals.
The plant has hermaphroditic flowers, that is, it has both male and female sexual characteristics. The appearance of the peppers does not provide any information about their sex. Neither the gender nor the number of bulges have any effect on the taste of the pepper fruit. The taste depends on the acidity and sugar content of the fruit.
