Bell Peppers

Bell peppers, scientifically known as Capsicum annuum, are vibrant, sweet, and crisp vegetables that come in a variety of colors, including green, red, yellow, and orange. Unlike other members of the pepper family, bell peppers are not spicy, making them a versatile ingredient in many cuisines worldwide. Rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, bell peppers are not only nutritious but also add a burst of color and flavor to dishes. They can be enjoyed raw in salads, sautéed in stir-fries, roasted, or stuffed. The ripening process influences their color and sweetness, with red bell peppers being the ripest and sweetest of the varieties. Their mild flavor and crunchy texture make them a popular choice in both everyday cooking and gourmet cuisine.
