What it is

Dried red and green peppers are simply bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) that have been dehydrated to remove most of their water content. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. They are often sold as flakes, granules, or powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried peppers to add flavor, color, and a mild sweetness to a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in spice blends, sauces, marinades, soups, and processed meats. Their versatility makes them a popular ingredient in many savory dishes.

Health notes

Dried red and green peppers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. They are a source of vitamins and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dried peppers and related compounds. No significant health concerns are associated with their consumption at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Dried red and green peppers are not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
