things people ask

• How many bell peppers make a cup chopped?
  One medium bell pepper typically yields about a cup chopped, give or take. Larger peppers — the four-lobed ones sold for stuffing — can give you a cup and a quarter, while smaller ones run closer to three-quarters. If a recipe wants a cup and you've got peppers of mixed sizes, dice them all and measure rather than counting whole peppers.
• Should I pack the cup or spoon it in loosely?
  Spoon and level, don't pack. Bell pepper pieces are hollow-ish and irregular, so packing crushes them and skews the weight well above 142 grams. For stir-fries, sautes, and fajita mixes, a loose cup is what recipe writers assume. If your dice is very fine — closer to a brunoise — you'll naturally get more grams per cup because the pieces nest tighter.
• Does the color of the pepper change the weight?
  Not meaningfully. Red, yellow, orange, and green bell peppers all sit near 142 grams per cup chopped because the flesh density is similar. Red and yellow peppers can feel slightly heavier because they're riper and hold a bit more sugar and water, but the difference is within normal pepper-to-pepper variation. Use 142 grams across colors and you'll be fine.
