Description

Frozen mixed bell peppers are a combination of different pepper varieties, usually including red, green, and yellow bell peppers, which have been washed, cut, and frozen to preserve their freshness and flavor. These peppers add a colorful and sweet touch to a wide variety of recipes, from stews and sauces to stir-fries and baked dishes.

Origin: Bell peppers, belonging to the Capsicum genus, are native to Central and South America, a region where they have been cultivated for thousands of years. The practice of freezing them emerged to facilitate their preservation for longer periods without losing their organoleptic and nutritional properties, a technique that has been widely adopted throughout the world.

Properties: Frozen mixed bell peppers are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber, and B vitamins. Furthermore, they are low in calories and contain no saturated fats, making them ideal for adding flavor and color to recipes while maintaining a healthy nutritional profile. Freezing preserves most of their nutrients and makes them easy to use year-round.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: depending on the country, these may be called morrones mixtos congelados (Argentina, Uruguay), pimentones mixtos congelados (Chile, Peru), or simply ajíes mixtos congelados (various regions of Central America). In Mexico, the preferred term is chiles dulces mixtos congelados.
