Vegetable
Orange Bell
A tier
Orange bell peppers are ripe thick-walled sweets with tropical-leaning fruity notes and vivid colour popular in retail tricolour packs. Sugar is high; bitterness of green is gone. They roast into silky strips for salads and pizzas. Showcase raw for hue and sweetness; pair with corn, tomato, and soft cheese. Nutritionally and culinarily close to red/yellow, with its own hue for menu design. Choose firm, heavy fruit.
