About Green Bell Pepper

Green bell pepper is the unripe form of a large, blocky, non-pungent pepper cultivar. It is commonly eaten raw in salads, crudités, relishes, and salsas, or cooked in sautés, stir-fries, sauces, soups, stews, casseroles, and stuffed preparations.

It has glossy green skin, thick crisp flesh, and a hollow interior containing pale ribs and seeds. Its flavour is vegetal, fresh, and slightly bitter compared with fully coloured bell peppers; cooking makes the flesh softer and sweeter.

It may be used whole, halved, seeded, sliced, diced, or chopped. The stem, seeds, and internal ribs are commonly removed before cooking, and the pepper may also be roasted, frozen, pickled, or stuffed.

Diet considerations

Green bell pepper is a plant food. Compatibility changes when it is stuffed or cooked with meat, dairy, grains, batter, or sauces, and preserved versions may contain added ingredients. The pepper should remain distinct from hot green chiles, which differ in variety and culinary use.
