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.

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.

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
