Bell Sweet Pepper – Rich Flavour, Zero Heat
What Is Bell Pepper?
Bell Peppers – also known as sweet peppers or capsicum – are a staple of global cuisine, prized for their vibrant colour, sweet flavour and total lack of heat. Whether red or green, these peppers offer depth and richness that enhance a wide range of dishes.
Unlike other chillies, Bell Peppers score zero on the Scoville scale, making them perfect for those who want the flavour of chilli without the burn. Once dried and flaked or ground into powder, they become a versatile ingredient for seasoning, colouring, and boosting flavour in everyday cooking.
