What it is

Dehydrated red and green bell peppers are dried pieces of the sweet, mild bell pepper varieties. Drying removes water, concentrating their flavor and extending shelf life. They are typically produced by air-drying or freeze-drying sliced or diced peppers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dehydrated bell peppers to provide a concentrated vegetable flavor and color to foods. They rehydrate during cooking, adding texture and taste. They are commonly found in spice blends, sauces, soups, stews, and pasta dishes.

Health notes

Dehydrated bell peppers are considered a food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of vitamins and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated bell peppers, and they are not associated with significant health concerns when consumed as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Bell peppers are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
