Are green peppers considered citrus?

I am putting together a diet plan to reduce acid reflux. I know green peppers are high in vitamin C but are they considered citrus foods? Because if so I cannot have them. Thanks for your helpful responses.

No, they are not citrus. Lots of fruits and vegetables have high vitamin C besides citrus. You need to look at the acidity of a food - not the vitamin content.

Hope my additional info helps you and I hope you can control your acid reflux!

Green peppers are vegetables... aren't all citrus foods fruits?
