Green bell peppers are a type of sweet pepper that belong to the Capsicum annuum species. They are harvested before they fully ripen, which is why they have a crisp texture and a slightly bitter flavor compared to their red, yellow, and orange counterparts. Green bell peppers are low in calories and rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin A. These peppers are versatile in cooking and can be eaten raw in salads, grilled, or stuffed with various fillings. They are commonly used in dishes like stir-fries, fajitas, and as toppings on pizzas. Their vibrant color adds visual appeal to meals while providing essential nutrients.
