What it is

Green bell peppers are the unripe fruit of the *Capsicum annuum* plant. They are a type of chili pepper that is typically mild in flavor and commonly eaten as a vegetable. They are grown worldwide and are available fresh, frozen, or canned.

Why it's used

Green peppers are used to add fresh flavor, color, and texture to a wide variety of dishes. They are frequently found in savory applications like pizzas, pasta sauces, stir-fries, soups, and casseroles. Their mild, slightly bitter taste complements many other ingredients.

Health notes

Green peppers are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are not subject to FDA additive regulations as they are a whole food. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated peppers as food, but do not set specific intake limits for whole fruits and vegetables. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming green peppers at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Green peppers are not among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
