Vegetable
Yellow Bell
A tier
Yellow bells bring sunny colour and a mild, honeyed sweet-pepper flavour slightly lighter than deep reds. They are ripe fruits of yellow-breeding cultivars, not unripe greens. Texture matches other thick-walled bells—crisp raw, silky roasted. Use for colour contrast in salads, ratatouille, and stuffed pepper trios. Sweet enough for raw kids’ plates. Avoid overcooking to khaki mush; brief heat keeps brightness.
