Mixed peppers are a combination of different colored bell peppers, most commonly red, yellow, and green. These are often sold pre-sliced or diced, or as whole peppers in a pack. They are used in a variety of dishes to add color, flavor, and a crisp texture when raw or a sweeter, more complex flavor when cooked.
Types: Mixed peppers typically include a combination of green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Sometimes orange peppers are also included.
Flavor profile: Green peppers have a sharper, slightly more bitter taste, while red, yellow, and orange peppers are sweeter.
Culinary uses:
Raw: They can be sliced and added to salads, salsas, and sandwiches.
Cooked: Cooking softens them and brings out their sweetness, making them suitable for stir-fries, casseroles, fajitas, and stews.
Roasting: Roasting or grilling them until tender can give them a smoky flavor, making them a good side dish.
Other forms: Mixed peppers can also be found dried or freeze-dried for long-term storage. In some cuisines, a "pepper mix" refers to a base made from blending different types of peppers, tomatoes, and onions to use in dishes like stews and rice.
