green pepper

Stuffable salad vegetable

A green pepper is a bell pepper harvested before it ripens and changes color to red, yellow, or orange.

Green peppers have a slightly bitter, grassy flavor compared to their sweeter mature counterparts and are common in salads, stir-fries, and stuffed pepper dishes.

The recipe calls for one diced green pepper.

In some regions, green pepper may also refer to unripe hot peppers or green chiles.
