What it is
Fresh red ripe peppers are the mature fruits of plants from the *Capsicum* genus. They are botanically fruits but commonly used as vegetables in cooking. Varieties range from sweet bell peppers to spicy chili peppers, and they are grown worldwide.
Why it's used
Fresh red ripe peppers are used to add flavor, color, and texture to a wide variety of dishes. They are commonly found in savory applications like sauces, dips, frozen appetizers, and prepared meats. Their versatility allows them to be used raw, roasted, or cooked into many food products.
Health notes
Fresh red ripe peppers are a natural food product and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. They are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various pepper extracts and capsaicinoids for safety, typically setting acceptable daily intakes. Evidence suggests capsaicin, the compound that makes peppers spicy, may have some health benefits, but more research is needed.
Allergen info
Fresh red ripe peppers are not one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
