Green bell peppers are crisp, mildly bitter vegetables harvested before fully ripening, which is why they have a firmer texture and less sweetness than red, yellow, or orange varieties. Rich in vitamin C and fiber, green peppers are low in calories and versatile in cooking. They are commonly used in salads, stir-fries, fajitas, and stuffed pepper dishes, adding crunch and color to both raw and cooked meals.
