Green bell pepper slices

Green bell pepper slices are thin cuts of the fruit of Capsicum annuum, commonly known as green bell pepper or green pepper. This ingredient is widely used in cooking for its fresh, slightly sweet flavor and its crunchy texture, which adds color and a vibrant touch to recipes.

Native to Central and South America, the green bell pepper is a traditional crop in many regions of the world and is an essential part of Mediterranean, Latin American, and Asian cuisine. Its versatility makes it ideal for salads, stews, stir-fries, pizzas, and as a side for various dishes.

From a nutritional standpoint, green bell pepper slices are an excellent source of vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber, and minerals such as potassium. They are also low in calories, making them a healthy option to enrich any dish.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, the green bell pepper may have different names or synonyms. Among the most common are: green chili (though this is more often used for spicy varieties in some places), green morrón pepper, green paprika, or simply bell pepper. In Mexico, the term sweet chili is frequently used to refer to peppers that are not spicy, while in other countries, paprika is used to distinguish it from hot chili peppers.
