FAQs about Bell Peppers
Are peppers fruits?
Fruits have at least one seed and grow from the flower of a plant. As bell peppers meet this definition, they are considered by botanists to be a fruit. To many diners, cooks and even professional chefs, however, they can be considered a vegetable even though this isn’t their official classification.
What can I do with lots of peppers?
Try out one of the delicious bell pepper recipes to use up one or more of your spare peppers. Most dishes can be frozen after cooling, so you could double up on the ingredients to make more, thereby using up more peppers.
Can I freeze peppers?
You can freeze peppers, yes. What’s more, you don’t have to blanche them first. Simply cut off the stalk and remove the fleshy interior of each bell pepper. Then, cut into chunks and place the pepper pieces into a freezer bag. Squeeze the air out of the bag, seal it and place the fresh pepper pieces into the freezer.
What do you eat red peppers with?
A red pepper will go with many recipes. Their bright colour means they’re a great addition to tomato-based sauces. Chopped finely, they go well in chillis, or you can add a sweet red pepper to a salad for some vibrancy and crunch.
Is it OK to eat raw red peppers?
Yes, it is. Raw red peppers, like all bell peppers, are fine to consume without cooking.
