What is a "green pepper"?
A green pepper is a type of vegetable with a crisp texture and a slightly bitter flavor. It is characterized by its bell-like shape, with a hollow interior and four lobes. Green peppers are unripe bell peppers and are typically harvested before they fully mature and turn red, yellow, or orange. They are commonly used in cooking for their versatility and vibrant color. Green peppers can be eaten raw in salads, sliced and added to sandwiches or wraps, stuffed with fillings, or cooked in stir-fries, fajitas, and other dishes. They are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, as well as antioxidants and dietary fiber, making them a nutritious addition to meals.
