DOLMA BİBER Green (Bell pepper)

Tanım

Bell peppers are a variety of Capsicum annuum that come in almost every shade of the rainbow, including red, yellow, orange, green, chocolate/brown, vanilla/white, and purple. They are not a spicy pepper, but range from being bitter and vegetal to sweet and fruity. The structure and shape of bell peppers are similar, regardless of their color. A smooth outer skin protects a fresh, crunchy flesh inside. The fruit is hollow, with countless seeds clustering in the center and clinging to the white membrane along the walls. Bell peppers are sometimes grouped with less pungent chili varieties as “sweet peppers”. While they are fruits—botanically classified as berries—they are commonly used as a vegetable ingredient or side dish. The fruits of the Capsicum genus are categorized as chili peppers. Bell peppers are rich in many vitamins and antioxidants, especially vitamin C and various carotenoids. For this reason, they may have several health benefits, such as improved eye health and reduced risk of several chronic diseases. All in all, bell peppers are an excellent addition to a healthy diet.
