Greek Peppers

Greek peppers are a type of pepper, often a mix of chili peppers and other vegetables like carrots, cauliflower, and celery, typically pickled in brine. They are known for their spicy and tangy flavor profile. The exact composition can vary by manufacturer.

Greek peppers are primarily used to add a zesty, spicy, and slightly sour flavor to foods. They are commonly found in antipasto salads, deli salads, spreads, and as a relish for sandwiches, meats, and cheeses.

Greek peppers are generally considered safe as a food ingredient. They are not subject to specific FDA regulations as a synthetic additive. The peppers themselves are a source of vitamins and antioxidants. JECFA has evaluated many common food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'Greek peppers' as a distinct ingredient are not typically listed. Consumption in typical amounts is not associated with adverse health effects.
