Organic Dried Green Bell Pepper

Dried green bell peppers are bell peppers that have been dehydrated to remove most of their water content. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. They are often dried after harvesting and may be sold whole, flaked, or ground.

Dried green bell peppers are used to add a concentrated, slightly sweet, and vegetal flavor to foods. They are commonly found in spice blends, seasoning mixes for rice and pasta dishes, soups, stews, and chili. Their dried form makes them a convenient ingredient for manufacturers to incorporate into dry mixes or to rehydrate for use in various recipes.

Dried green bell peppers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. They are a source of vitamins and antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for dried green bell peppers as a distinct ingredient are not widely publicized. No significant health controversies are associated with their typical consumption.
