What it is

Yellow peppers are the mature fruits of the *Capsicum annuum* plant, a species native to the Americas. They are a variety of bell pepper that ripen to a yellow color, often picked before full maturity for a milder flavor. They are typically grown in fields and harvested by hand.

Why it's used

Yellow peppers are used as a vegetable in cooking, adding a sweet flavor and bright color to dishes. Manufacturers use them in products like pickles, relishes, salads, and pizzas to enhance their visual appeal and taste. They can also be found in spice blends and sauces.

Health notes

Yellow peppers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. They are a good source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated peppers and their extracts. No significant health concerns are associated with the typical consumption of yellow peppers.

Allergen info
