Parts of the pepper to feed?

[chesneycwgrl]

I searched before I posted this, can they eat the internal membrane part if i take out the seeds? or should I cut all of that out like I would for myself?

So far I have been cutting them clean, and then cutting it up, but my mom suggested that that portion may be ok?

I feed all but the seeds. Am certain the membrane is fine - my pigs love it! (not sure about stalk though - I don't feed that).

The membrane can be fed as long as all the seeds are removed. It's usually just easier to cut the center out and toss it. I wouldn't feed the stalk at all as it's pretty hard.

I would be very cautious with stems or leaves from anything in the solanaceae; I do not know whether the foliage of peppers is toxic, but certainly tomato and potato leaves are toxic.

I feed the entire pepper minus the seeds. My pigs adore the inner membrane part.
I have always given the stems as well, and they disappear from the basket before morning. I don't figure they are any harder than the apple tree limbs that my pigs adore?

I give all but the seeds, I sometimes feed the stem but I feel cautious about giving that so I almost always cut it out just to be sure. I do notice that if I put in the whole pepper and just scooped out the seeds that the stem is the first to go! (depending on the pepper).

I read some where that the membrane, the white parts has the highest cncentration of Vit. C.
