Description

Green bell peppers are technically “unripe” peppers and not quite as sweet as more mature red ones. This popular Japanese hybrid produces glossy, thin-walled, sweet green bell peppers. The fruits are small, growing up to three or four inches in length and 30 to 40 grams in weight. This delicious variety is primarily grown for its exceptional culinary qualities. It is desired for its tender flesh that complements stir-fries nicely. Use the fruits liberally in salads for their delightful texture. Many also deep-fry them for tempura, giving the peppers a crispy exterior. Sweet, earthy, and not spicy at all, they are similar to the typical green bell pepper’s flavor.

They contains high amounts of vitamins A, B6, C, E, and K, iron, the chemical compound lutein (an antioxidant), potassium, and folates.
