What it is

Red and green peppers are varieties of the bell pepper (Capsicum annuum), a fruit native to the Americas. They are typically harvested when mature and can be used fresh, dried, or processed. The color difference is usually due to ripeness, with green peppers being less ripe than red ones.

International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated peppers and their components. Evidence suggests that consuming peppers as part of a balanced diet contributes to overall health and well-being.
