Frozen bell peppers

Frozen bell peppers are fresh peppers that have been washed, cut, and undergone a quick-freezing process to preserve their flavor, texture, and nutritional value. These peppers, recognized for their sweet taste and vibrant color (which can be red, green, yellow, or orange), are a versatile ingredient in the kitchen, used in sofritos, stews, salads, and stir-fries.

The bell pepper originates from Central and South America and was adopted into global cuisine following the exploration of the American continent. Its cultivation has spread widely due to its sweet flavor and beneficial properties.

Among its main properties, its richness in vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants stands out, which help strengthen the immune system and protect cells from oxidative damage. Furthermore, it is low in calories and provides dietary fiber.

In different Hispanic American countries, frozen bell peppers may also be known as frozen bell chili peppers or simply frozen peppers, depending on the region. They are a practical option for those who wish to preserve this ingredient for longer without losing its essential characteristics.
