Description

Green bell pepper is a vegetable belonging to the nightshade family, known for its slightly sweet and fresh flavor and its crunchy texture. It is cultivated in many regions of the world, originally from Central and South America, although its use has spread to global cuisine.

In gastronomy, green bell pepper is very versatile and is used both raw in salads and cooked in stews, stir-fries, sauces, and baked dishes. It provides a vibrant color and a characteristic flavor that balances other more intense ingredients.

From a nutritional point of view, it is low in calories and rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, which helps strengthen the immune system and improve digestion.

In different Latin American countries, green bell pepper may go by various names, such as green chili, green morrón, or simply green paprika. These terms vary by region but refer to the same essential ingredient in multiple traditional recipes.
