At Alphas Produce of Boston, we believe in color, crunch, and quality—and nothing embodies that better than the bell pepper. Available in a vibrant rainbow of red, yellow, orange, and green, bell peppers are not only beautiful but also packed with nutrition and culinary versatility. Whether you’re a professional chef, food retailer, or home cook, bell peppers should be a staple in your kitchen.
What Are Bell Peppers?
Bell peppers, also known as sweet peppers or capsicums, are members of the nightshade family, alongside tomatoes and eggplants. Unlike their spicier chili cousins, bell peppers are mild, making them a family-friendly favorite that works in a variety of dishes—from salads and stir-fries to stuffed peppers and salsas.
A Rainbow of Nutrition
Each color of bell pepper offers a unique nutritional profile, but all are excellent sources of:
- Vitamin C (more than an orange!)
- Vitamin A and Beta-carotene
- Antioxidants
- Dietary fiber
Red bell peppers, in particular, are fully ripened and therefore the sweetest and most nutrient-dense of the bunch.
Versatile in the Kitchen
Bell peppers are one of the most adaptable vegetables in your kitchen arsenal. Here are just a few ways to use them:
- Raw in salads, wraps, or veggie platters
- Roasted for a smoky, sweet addition to pastas or grain bowls
- Stuffed with rice, beans, or meats for a hearty meal
- Sautéed with onions and garlic for a classic fajita base
- Blended into sauces, soups, or dips like romesco or pepper hummus
