The yellow bell pepper is medium to large in size, with an average length of seven centimeters and a diameter of five centimeters, and has a rounded, square, blocky shape with 3-4 lobes and a thick green stem.
When the skin is young, it is smooth, glossy, and pale green, becoming bright yellow as time goes on. Bright yellow flesh underneath the skin is thick, crisp, and succulent, with a hollow cavity containing small, cream-colored, flat seeds and a thin, spongy membrane.
The yellow bell pepper is a juicy, crunchy vegetable that has a mild, sweet taste.
The yellow bell pepper, also known as Capsicum annuum, is a sweet, edible fruit that grows both as an annual and as a perennial plant.
Besides vitamin C, yellow bell peppers contain vitamin A, fiber, calcium, iron, and potassium.
Many bell pepper varieties are grown specifically for their yellow maturity stage. The color uniformity and rate of development are affected by temperature.
Golden Belle, Golden Cal Wonder, Astro, Klondike Bell, Honey Bell, and Marengo are among these varieties. Chefs and home cooks alike love yellow bell peppers for their sweet flavor, crunchy flesh, and bright colour.
