Dried Green Pepper

Dried green pepper is made from green bell peppers that have been dehydrated to remove most of their water content. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. The peppers are typically harvested when mature but still green.

Dried green pepper is used to add a distinct, slightly pungent pepper flavor to foods. It is often found in spice blends, seasonings, and as an ingredient in savory dishes. Manufacturers use it in products like soups, stews, sauces, and seasoned snack foods.

Dried green 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 food ingredients, but specific evaluations for dried green pepper are not widely published. At typical dietary levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
