Sweet peppers, also known as bell peppers, are vibrant, mild-flavored vegetables that come in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, orange, and green. Unlike their spicier counterparts, sweet peppers are prized for their crisp texture and slightly sweet taste, making them a versatile ingredient in both raw and cooked dishes. Rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants, sweet peppers contribute to a healthy diet and are often used in salads, stir-fries, stuffed pepper recipes, and as colorful additions to various cuisines. With their thick flesh and natural sweetness, they offer a satisfying crunch and a burst of color to any dish, without adding heat. Sweet peppers are a staple in many Mediterranean and global dishes, symbolizing the balance of nutrition and flavor in healthy cooking.
