OK to feed those "growths" inside green bell peppers??

[webjetter]

Just wondering about those strange-looking "growths" found inside some green bell peppers ... can the piggies eat those? And what the heck are they anyway? I've been throwing those away because I wasn't sure, so I thought I would ask. Here's a picture so you'll know what I mean:

Yes, they are fine to feed. I feed those inside bits to my girls all the time. The only part I don't feed is the seeds.

I don't know exactly what they are but sometimes I wonder if the peppers just don't grow properly and they develop what I call "mini" peppers inside.

I always figured those were the boy peppers.. Good to know you can feed them those though, I always throw them away.

I usually throw them away along with the seeds because the piggies won't eat them.

For some reason, they would just eat the pepper and leave the "growths".

The peppers just got bad "directions"! This is kind of funny since I just made a post about "Green Bags" and plant hormones. Those growths grew because another one of those hormones was over produced- they're just extra pepper.
