Hey this question floating around my family and we were just wondering when you buy a bell pepper from the store can you take the seeds and do anything with them to grow a bell pepers plant? thanks
 
You can plant them and they will grow, however, most bell peppers from the store are hybrids and when you plant seeds from a hybrid you don't usually get the same thing as the previous generation. What you might get will be a pepper with some of the characteristics of the original but not all of them.
 
You could try it. Or you could just buy a packet of seeds for $2.
