What it is

Dried bell pepper is made from mature bell peppers that have had most of their water removed through drying. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. It is available in whole, flaked, or powdered forms.

Why it's used

Health notes

Dried bell pepper is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info
