Dehydrated Sweet Bell Pepper

Dehydrated sweet bell pepper is dried and ground sweet bell pepper. Bell peppers are the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum annuum, native to the Americas. Drying removes water to extend shelf life and concentrate flavor.

Manufacturers use dehydrated sweet bell pepper to add a mild, sweet pepper flavor and aroma to foods. It is often found in spice blends, sauces, soups, and processed vegetable products.

Dehydrated sweet bell pepper is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar food ingredients, and no significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
