Green pepper

Green peppers, also known as bell peppers, are vibrant and crunchy vegetables that come from a plant. They are part of the capsicum family, which includes a variety of peppers ranging in spiciness. Green peppers are harvested before they ripen, giving them their signature green colour and slightly bitter taste compared to their red, yellow, or orange counterparts.

These peppers grow on bushes and are picked when they are still unripe and green. After harvesting, they are cleaned, sorted, and often sold fresh in grocery stores. Green peppers can also be used in various culinary dishes, either raw in salads, sliced on pizzas, or cooked in stir-fries and casseroles. They can be easily diced, chopped, or sliced for different cooking techniques.

Green pepper is a common ingredient in many dishes due to its versatile flavour and crunchy texture. It adds a fresh, slightly tangy taste to salads, stir-fries, omelettes, and pasta sauces. Their vibrant colour also makes them a visually appealing addition to dishes. Green peppers are a source of vitamin C and other essential nutrients, making them a healthy choice to incorporate into your meals.
