Orange Pepper

Orange pepper is a ripe, eye-catching fruit of the Capsicum annuum species, further along in ripeness than green peppers but harvested before fully maturing into red peppers. It is bell-shaped, featuring a glossy, vibrant orange exterior with a crunchy texture and hollow interior segmented by white membranes and seeds.

Scent-wise, orange peppers exhibit a bright, mildly sweet aroma that is less grassy than their green counterparts but not as intensely sweet as red peppers. The fragrance combines fresh, crisp notes with a subtle hint of sweetness, reflecting its intermediate stage of ripening. Upon cutting or biting into an orange pepper, its fresh scent is more pronounced, evoking a clean and refreshing quality that enhances its appeal in culinary uses. Orange peppers are celebrated for their refreshing, sweet scent that pairs well with both raw and cooked dishes, contributing a colorful and aromatic flourish to salads, stir-fries, and grilled dishes.
