Bell peppers, also known as sweet peppers or capsicums, are vibrant, crunchy vegetables that come in a variety of colors, including green, red, yellow, and orange. They have a mild, sweet flavor with a crisp texture, making them a versatile ingredient in both raw and cooked dishes. Bell peppers are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making them a nutritious addition to meals. Their glossy skin and hollow interior make them ideal for stuffing, slicing, or dicing, and they add a pop of color and flavor to any recipe.

Store bell peppers in the refrigerator's crisper drawer, unwashed, in a breathable plastic or mesh bag to maintain freshness. They typically last 1-2 weeks when stored properly. Avoid cutting them until ready to use, as this can reduce their shelf life. If you need to freeze them, chop into desired sizes, spread on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag.
