Green Sweet Pepper

Latin name
Capsicum annuum (type vert doux)
Type
Annual fruit
Family
Solanaceae

A classic variety harvested before it's fully ripe, giving it a slightly herbaceous, fresh, and crisp flavor. Versatile in cooking, it's ideal for stir-fries, stuffed dishes, or simply grilled. Its fruits are elongated or bell-shaped depending on the cultivar, with thick, juicy flesh. Very easy to grow, it's appreciated as much for its generous yield as for its mild flavor and hassle-free cultivation, whether in pots or outdoors.
