Description/Taste

Yellow bell peppers are medium to large in size, averaging seven centimeters in length and five centimeters in diameter, and are rounded, square, and blocky in shape with 3-4 lobes and a thick green stem. The smooth skin is firm, glossy, and pale green when young, transforming to bright yellow with age. Underneath the skin, the vibrant yellow flesh is thick, crisp, and succulent, with a hollow cavity that contains very small, flat and bitter cream-colored seeds and a thin, spongy membrane. Yellow bell peppers are crunchy and juicy with a mild, sweet flavor.

Seasons/Availability

Yellow bell peppers are available year-round, with a peak season in the summer.

Current Facts

Yellow bell peppers, botanically classified as Capsicum annuum, are the sweet, edible fruits of a plant that can be grown both as an annual or perennial and belongs to the Solanaceae or nightshade family. There are several varieties of bell peppers that are grown specifically for their yellow stage of maturity, as temperatures during coloring play a major role in the uniformity and rate of color development. These varieties include Golden Belle, Golden Cal Wonder, Astro, Klondike Bell, Honey Bell, and Marengo. Yellow bell peppers are favored by chefs and home cooks for their sweet flavor, crunchy flesh, and bright color.

Nutritional Value

Yellow bell peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C and also contain vitamin A, fiber, calcium, iron, and potassium.

Applications

Yellow bell peppers are best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as roasting, baking, grilling, and sautéing. The peppers can be used fresh and chopped into salsa, sliced and served on vegetable trays with dips, layered into sandwiches, wraps, and burgers, or diced and tossed into fresh green salads. They can also be roasted and mixed into sauces for pasta or vegetable side dishes, grilled and served with roasted meats, sautéed and mixed into stir-fries, or layered in tacos. Yellow bell peppers pair well with potatoes, onions, garlic, fennel, leeks, spinach, beets, basil, bok choy, tomatoes, saffron, raisins, almonds, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, black sesame seeds, blue cheese, goat cheese, soy sauce, grapefruit vinaigrette, red wine vinegar, béchamel sauce, lentils, sausage, salmon, poultry, eggs, and cornbread. The peppers will keep up to one week when stored unwashed in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.

Ethnic/Cultural Info

Bell peppers are often thought of as a vegetable, but they are actually a fruit because they contain seeds and grow on a flowering plant. In the United States, the month of November is considered national capsicum or national pepper month and is celebrated by chefs and home cooks to raise awareness and to promote the many different colors of the sweet peppers. Bell peppers are also the only capsicum that does not produce capsaicin, which is the chemical that causes the brain to think the pepper is hot or spicy.

Geography/History

Yellow bell peppers are native to tropical America and have been growing since ancient times. They were then introduced to Asia and Europe via Spanish and Portuguese explorers around 1493, and since then new varieties and heirloom varieties have been cultivated across the world. Today Yellow bell peppers can be found at supermarkets, farmers markets, specialty grocers, and grown in home gardens in North America, Central America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
