About Sweet pepper
Sweet pepper refers to mild, non-hot peppers, commonly bell-shaped types with crisp flesh and a hollow interior containing seeds and pale ribs. Depending on cultivar and maturity, the skin may be green, red, yellow, or orange, and the flavour ranges from vegetal to distinctly sweet.
Peppers are eaten raw, roasted, cooked, or stuffed and are sold fresh whole or cut, as well as frozen or preserved. Colour often reflects maturity, but shape, thickness, and flavour vary among sweet-pepper types; the name does not specify one colour or cultivar.
