A pepper with a pepper in it.

[Timeforatincture]

Slightly creepy aren't they?

I always like it when that happens! It’s a bonus.

Draw eyes on it.

Wahoo, bonus pepper!

I tend to get them more when I buy value peppers, always wonder why.

I had one of those the other day and found it really creepy! Ridiculous I know

I always eat the baby pepper

The baby pepper is usually sweeter.

That is so cool!

Sorry - morbid thought - I always wonder is that the equivalent of a human tumor?

I have often wondered about these little peppers and always forgot to look it up, until now.

'That little pepper inside a bigger pepper is called an “internal proliferation.” Its form can vary from irregular and contorted to a near-perfect but sterile fruit. A pepper growing inside a pepper is a type of parthenocarpy, which is the formation of fruits without fertilization or the formation of seeds.'

It's a genetic mutation apparently: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3214887/

Ooh I like these. I always eat the baby pepper whole and then feel guilty because he was only a baby.

It’s like some episode of Grey’s Anatomy where they find out that the “tumour” growing inside them is actually their own twin that they fused with in the womb.

Like a Kit-Kat that’s all chocolate and no biscuit, I take it as a sign of good luck (but I am very weird like that).

I always feel bad when I cut the baby pepper out. Like, I’m 100% pro-choice, but always wonder what the mama pepper would have chosen?

These always freak me out, totally irrationally I know

I can’t eat them, they freak me out too. They’re like the little blobs of blood in eggs which also make me feel weird

I never eat the baby pepper!

I also relate it to the Grey’s Anatomy “fetus in fetu” thingy; I learned a lot from that show

I like the little one though - I never waste it!

Twins :)

I can't eat the baby pepper either 

@IndianaMoleWoman we had a friend of the family used to work for nestle and brought us the "factory seconds", aka kit kats without wafers, I always bought those were awesome

This always make me feel a bit sick 🤢

You killed a PG pepper? What kind of monster are you?

I had one of these recently and took a picture of it. I did eat the baby but I felt a bit bad about it

If you don't eat the baby pepper, you're not allowing it's full potential to be realised. You're preparing and eating the big pepper but the little baby pepper will be destined never to be eaten . Or something like that...

And it's sweeter .

We call these 'pregnant peppers' and eat the little one inside rather than cooking it with the big one.

I don't like it when I get these, feels weird..
Like Iv just performed a c-section
Iv never really thought of eating the baby 🤔
