[OC] My bell pepper has more peppers inside it!

That my friend is the rare Capsicum annuum uterosi.

Or the super rare development of a uterus and filoppian tubes inside a green peeper.

Do not fuck, I REPEAT, DO NOT FUCK. It can result in conception and gestation of the aromaticus pilas cibum.

I will try my best to resist that sweet pepper uterus ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Never seen that before, would have thought the darkness inside the pepper would prevent this pepperception from happening ๐Ÿ˜ณ

i see those mini peppers surprisingly often

Exactly. Is this not a regular occurrence to people?

I don't keep track, but I'd guess more than 30% of the time.

Anyway, it's not like this is actually the seeds germinating. It's something like the baby orange in a navel orange.

I'm tempted to try and plant them lol

Try it. We've done it before, and it often yields a bit more than the average we've seen. Down in south Texas

I was always under the impression that plants had some sort of โ€œno donโ€™t grow yet you idiotโ€ system in place to prevent this.

Maybe the internal ones don't start growing until after the pepper was harvested?

Got these once and was excited thinking theyโ€™d be sweet like the little babies you find growing within oranges sometimes

imagine my horror

Why did you have to cut this poor pregananant mother open like this?????

I heard these are pepper teratomas before. Any truth to this?
