Green bell pepper flakes

Green bell pepper flakes are small, dried, and crushed pieces of fresh green bell peppers. This ingredient is commonly used in cooking to add a fresh, slightly spicy, and herbaceous flavor to a wide variety of dishes, from stews and sauces to dressings and marinades.

The green bell pepper is the immature version of the sweet bell pepper, and its cultivation originated in Central and South America, although today they are produced in various regions of the world. When dried and crushed into flakes, the green bell pepper retains some of its characteristic aroma and its ability to enhance flavors, without being as intense or spicy as other dried fruits like chili peppers.

In nutritional terms, green bell pepper flakes provide vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants and fiber. Furthermore, they are low in calories and contain no fat, making them a healthy addition to add color and flavor to dishes.

In different Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, green bell pepper flakes may be known by different names or synonyms, including:

• Green bell pepper chips
• Green bell pepper scales
• Crushed dried green pepper (less common)

This ingredient is ideal for those seeking a subtle and aromatic touch of bell pepper in their recipes without excess moisture or spiciness.
