What it is
Dehydrated green bell pepper is a dried and often powdered form of the green bell pepper. Green bell peppers are unripe fruits of the *Capsicum annuum* plant, commonly grown in the United States and other countries. Drying removes water, concentrating the flavor and extending shelf life.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add dehydrated green bell pepper to provide a mild, slightly bitter pepper flavor and aroma to foods. It is used in spice blends, seasonings, sauces, soups, and packaged meals, particularly those featuring rice, meat, or tomato.
Health notes
Dehydrated green bell pepper is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants, though amounts are reduced by drying. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated dehydrated green bell pepper as a distinct additive, as it is considered a food ingredient.
Allergen info
Dehydrated green bell pepper is not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
