Diced Green Bell Peppers

Zippy Green Bell Peppers, with their grassy, brisk flavor and mildly bitter finish, are sliced, diced, and dehydrated so they’re ready to use at all times. The immature fruit of the bell pepper plant, these Diced Green Bell Peppers retain their grassy flavor profile and mild vegetal aroma during dehydration. The flavor condenses when they dry, though, so they may be more piquant than the average bell pepper.  These Green Bell Peppers boast a volatile oil content of approximately 3%, though they can go as high as 5% due to their concentration during the dehydration process. Diced Green Bell Peppers are not spicy at all, measuring at 0 on the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) scale.

A bell pepper is technically a fruit, not a vegetable. Fruits, in botanical terms, are casings for seeds, and grow from the ovaries of a flowering plant. We have come to view peppers in culinary terms, however, thanks to its overwhelmingly savory nature. Other fruits that masquerade as vegetables include but are not limited to tomatoes, eggplants, and winter squash, like butternut or acorn. Vegetables are the other edible plants, like leaves (spinach), roots (carrots), stems (celery), or bulbs (onions).

Tips From Our Kitchen

Rehydrate Dried Green Bell Peppers by soaking in hot water for 20 minutes and draining, or add to a dish to cook for the final 20 minutes. This is a wonderful addition to a mild queso dip, and goes wonderfully with instant pot baked beans. Rehydrate for a pepper chicken stir fry, or make a great Southwestern omelet, and don’t forget to add Dried Green Bell Peppers to the hash browns, too. In any recipe that calls for fresh bell peppers you can substitute dehydrated bell peppers for fresh peppers by using about 1 tablespoon dried sweet pepper for about 3 tablespoons chopped bell peppers. We also carry Diced Red Bell Peppers.
