Description/Taste
Green bell peppers are medium to large in size and have a rounded, blocky, square shape with 3-4 lobes and a thick green stem. The dark green skin is smooth, glossy, and firm, and the flesh is pale green juicy, crisp, and succulent. Inside the thick flesh, there is a hollow cavity filled with a white membrane and many small, flat, and cream-colored circular seeds. Green bell peppers are crunchy with an aromatic, green, less sweet and almost bitter flavor than the other colored varieties.
Seasons/Availability
Green bell peppers are available year-round, with a peak season in the late summer through fall.
Current Facts
Green bell peppers, botanically classified as Capsicum annuum, are the young, edible fruits of the perennial or annual plant that is a member of the Solanaceae family. Green bell pepper plants can grow up to one meter in height and lack capsaicin, which is the element that causes the tongue to taste spice or heat. Also known as Capsicum and Paprika in Europe, Green bell peppers are harvested prematurely when they are still young, approximately seventy days after planting. These peppers are favored by chefs and home cooks for their mildly bitter flavor and juicy, crunchy texture.
Nutritional Value
Green bell peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C and also contain vitamins A, B6, and K, potassium, folic acid, fiber, and beta-carotene.
Applications
Green bell peppers are best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as baking, sautéing, roasting, and grilling. When used fresh, the pepper can be chopped and tossed into green salads, sliced as an appetizer for dips and spreads, chopped for salsa, or layered on sandwiches for an added layer of crunch. Green bell peppers can also be roasted and served over pasta, baked into casseroles, chopped into stews, cooked into a frittata, mixed into curries, or halved, stuffed, and baked with cheeses, meats, and grains. Green bell peppers pair well with tomatoes, corn, red onion, onions, garlic, potatoes, black beans, chickpeas, cilantro, peaches, coconut milk, ground beef, pork, turkey, shrimp, eggs, rice, quinoa, faro, and couscous. The peppers will keep 1-2 weeks when stored in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
In Louisiana in the southern United States, Green bell peppers are one of the major ingredients used in the “holy trinity” of Cajun or Creole cooking along with celery and onions. The holy trinity is a variant of the French mirepoix, which is a combination of onions, celery, and carrots and these three ingredients are the base of stews, soups, gumbos, jambalaya, and crawfish étouffée, providing flavor and depth to the southern style of cooking.
Geography/History
Green bell peppers are native to tropical America and have been growing since ancient times. They were then introduced to Asia and Europe via Spanish and Portuguese explorers around 1493, and since then new varieties and heirloom varieties have been cultivated across the world. Today Green bell peppers can be found at supermarkets, farmers markets, specialty grocers, and grown in home gardens in North America, Central America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
