What it is

Bell peppers are the fruits of plants from the Capsicum annuum species. They are native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America but are now grown worldwide. Green and red bell peppers are the same variety, with red peppers being a mature, ripened version of the green pepper.

Why it's used

Bell peppers are used as a vegetable in cooking, adding color, flavor, and texture to dishes. They are commonly found in stir-fries, salads, sauces, and frozen meals. Manufacturers use them for their fresh taste and vibrant appearance.

Health notes

Bell peppers are a good source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin A. They are not subject to FDA regulation as a food additive and are considered safe for consumption. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of bell peppers. International bodies like EFSA have not specifically evaluated bell peppers as a food additive.

Allergen info

Bell peppers are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
