Green Pepper

Green pepper, also known as bell pepper or capsicum, is a versatile vegetable that stands out in culinary uses around the world due to its crisp texture and vibrant color. It is the unripe version of a red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, harvested before it has fully ripened. Visually, it boasts a glossy, smooth exterior and a robust, slightly curved shape with a hollow interior segmented by ribs and housing small, flat seeds.

The scent profile of green pepper is quite distinctive. It is notably less sweet compared to its fully ripened counterparts. Green pepper features a fresh, slightly grassy aroma with a crisp, green vegetal note. This raw, earthy scent is often associated with the refreshing smell of a garden or freshly cut greenery. As you handle or cut the pepper, these aromas become more pronounced, giving off a clean and sometimes slightly bitter fragrance. In terms of taste, green peppers are mildly spicy and slightly bitter, lacking the sweetness that characterizes red, yellow, or orange peppers. This unique combination of fresh scent and flavor makes green pepper a popular ingredient in salads, stir-fries, and as a raw snack.
