About Peppers, sweet, green, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt
The species Capsicum annuum covers an enormous range of peppers, from sweet, crunchy bell peppers to fiery chilies like jalapeno, serrano, cayenne, and poblano, all native to the Americas. They ripen from green to red, yellow, or orange, growing sweeter and richer in color as they mature. Peppers are very low in calories and exceptionally high in vitamin C, often more than an orange, along with vitamin A, vitamin B6, and antioxidants like beta-carotene.
The heat in chili types comes from capsaicin, the compound behind their burn, measured on the Scoville scale, while sweet bell peppers have essentially none. Bells are eaten raw, stuffed, roasted, or sauteed, while chilies flavor salsas, curries, stir-fries, and hot sauces, and dried and ground they become paprika, cayenne, and chili powder. Roasting deepens their sweetness and loosens the skins. Choose firm, glossy peppers that feel heavy for their size with tight, unwrinkled skin, and store them unwashed in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.
