Green pepper is a spice obtained from the immature and fresh fruits of the pepper tree, known as Piper nigrum. Unlike black pepper, which is obtained from mature and dried fruits, green pepper is harvested before full maturity, when the fruits have a bright green color. These fruits are preserved through specialized drying methods or by pickling, which preserves their green color and fresh, spicy flavor.
Green pepper is characterized by its fresh, slightly spicy, and floral flavor, with herbaceous and citrus notes. It is widely used in cooking to add a touch of freshness and spice to a variety of dishes, including meats, poultry, fish, salads, sauces, and dressings. Its delicate flavor and crunchy texture make it ideal for use in dishes where a milder and fresher taste is desired than that provided by black pepper.
In addition to its culinary use, green pepper has traditionally been used in herbal medicine for its potential digestive and stimulating properties. It is believed to help improve digestion, relieve bloating, and stimulate metabolism.
