Description

Green bell pepper strip refers to a long, thin portion of green bell pepper, obtained by slicing the fruit into thin strips. The green bell pepper is a variety of sweet pepper or bell pepper characterized by its slightly bitter and fresh flavor, and its crunchy texture.

This ingredient is very common in international cuisine and is commonly used in stir-fries, stews, salads, and as part of fillings or side dishes that add color and flavor.

The green bell pepper originates from Central America and Mexico, although its cultivation quickly spread to Europe after the arrival of the colonizers, becoming a staple of Mediterranean and Latin American cuisine.

Among its properties, its low calorie content, high vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants stand out, making it an ideal food for healthy diets and for adding freshness and texture to dishes.

In different Hispanic American countries, the green bell pepper strip may be known simply as green pepper julienne, tirillas de morrón verde (Argentina), or tajadas de ají verde (Colombia). In some regions, the term "ají" is used more for spicy peppers, but in culinary preparations the concept is similar.
