Capsicums, also known as bell peppers, are vibrant fruits native to Central and South America. They boast a rainbow of colors – red, yellow, orange, green, and even purple – each with its own subtle flavor twist. Despite their fiery pepper relatives, capsicums are generally mild and slightly sweet.

The thick, crisp flesh makes them incredibly versatile. Enjoy them raw, roasted, grilled, or even stuffed! They’re a great source of vitamins A and C, along with fiber. Bell peppers are a popular addition to salads, stir-fries, salsas, and stews, adding a touch of sweetness and vibrant color to any dish.
