bell peppers

Bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) are a popular vegetable known for their bright, vibrant colors, crisp texture, and sweet, mild flavor. Unlike many other types of peppers, bell peppers are not spicy, making them a favorite in both raw and cooked dishes. They come in various colors, including green, red, yellow, orange, and even purple, with each color offering a slightly different flavor profile.

Bell peppers are members of the Solanaceae family, which also includes tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes. Native to the Americas, bell peppers have been cultivated for thousands of years and are now widely grown around the world in both home gardens and commercial farms.
