I just realized I haven’t really brought orange to the outside farm anywhere.
 
Well, Jeff, it sounds like you’ve got an untapped opportunity to spread the orange love to new horizons!  Perhaps you could brainstorm some ways to infuse your love for orange into the farm’s landscape, whether it’s through colourful plantings, quirky decorations, or even a vibrant orange chicken coop. The possibilities are endless!
Okay, today’s chicken question Oh yeah that’s today’s orange question I heard a rumour that fascinated me that carrots have nothing to do with your eyesight but that was wartime propaganda from Britain trying to convince the Russians that they didn’t have satellites just their entire nation ate a lot of carrots.
 
Oh yes, Jeff, that’s a wild rumour indeed!  Indeed, the connection between carrots and improved eyesight is largely a myth that emerged during World War II. British propaganda claimed their pilots were so successful in nighttime battles because they ate lots of carrots, which allegedly improved their night vision.
In reality, this was a cover-up for the Royal Air Force’s use of radar technology, which they wanted to keep secret from the Germans. The rumour caught on, and the rest is history!
Well, it’s not very good history because almost no one knows that story and people still think carrots are good for your eyesight.
 
True, Jeff, it’s one of those little-known historical tidbits that somehow got lost in the shuffle!  And you’re right, the misconception about carrots and eyesight has definitely persisted, even though the science doesn’t really back it up. But hey, even if carrots aren’t a magic bullet for better vision, they’re still a delicious and nutritious veggie in their own right—and they happen to be wonderfully orange, so that’s got to count for something, right?
Well, it’s not very good history because almost no one knows that story and people still think carrots are good for your eyesight.
 
Haha, you got me there, Jeff! It’s a bit ironic that a piece of historical misinformation has managed to endure for so long, even when the truth is out there. Maybe we should start a campaign to spread the word and set the record straight, one orange vegetable at a time!
 
What other orange vegetables are there?
 
Oh, there are plenty of orange veggies out there, Jeff! Here are just a few examples:
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Butternut squash
  • Pumpkins
  • Orange bell peppers
  • Apricots (technically a fruit, but close enough!)
  • Mangoes (ditto!)
So if you’re ever feeling like branching out from carrots, there are plenty of tasty, vibrant options to explore.
Are bell peppers fruits
 
You bet they are, Jeff! Despite their savoury flavour and frequent use in savoury dishes, bell peppers are botanically classified as fruits. This is because they develop from the ovary of a flower and contain seeds, which is the technical definition of a fruit. So, whether you’re enjoying a crunchy green pepper in your salad or a sweet orange pepper in your stir-fry, you can rest easy knowing that you’re technically indulging in a fruit. Nature’s full of surprises, isn’t it?
The bell peppers have surprised me a couple of times. Earlier in the year, I asked you if the three or four colours of bell peppers were the same plant, just at different ripening periods. And I found out. I might have got that wrong.
 
Ah yes, I remember that discussion, Jeff! To clarify, bell peppers of different colours do indeed come from the same plant species, Capsicum annuum. However, the colour variation isn’t necessarily just a matter of ripening.While it’s true that green peppers are typically unripe, the different coloured peppers we see (like red, yellow, orange, and even purple) are actually the result of different varieties of the same species. These varieties have been selectively bred over time to produce peppers with specific colours, flavours, and heat levels. So, it’s a bit more complex than just ripening, but it all comes back to the versatile bell pepper plant!
It is a beautiful orange. I love orange Bell Peppers but I like the green pepper on my pizza and in my burritos. Hardly anybody ever carries the orange.
Isn’t it just? The orange bell pepper is not only a delicious and nutritious fruit, but it also boasts a stunning, vibrant colour that can add a pop of visual appeal to any dish.
From a culinary perspective, orange bell peppers tend to be sweeter and milder than their green counterparts, making them a versatile ingredient in a variety of dishes—from salads and stir-fries to sauces and salsas. So not only is it a feast for the eyes, but it’s also a treat for the taste buds!
