What it is
Dehydrated bell pepper is made from fresh bell peppers that have had most of their water removed. This process concentrates the flavor and extends the shelf life of the pepper. It is available in flake, granulated, or powdered forms.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dehydrated bell pepper to add a mild, sweet pepper flavor and color to foods. It is commonly found in spice blends, seasoning mixes, sauces, soups, and processed meats.
Health notes
Dehydrated bell pepper is generally recognized by the FDA as safe (GRAS) for use in food. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants, though amounts are reduced by drying. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dried vegetables, and no significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
