Pepper strips

Bell pepper strips are long, thin cuts of this versatile ingredient commonly used in a wide variety of cooking recipes. Bell peppers, scientifically known as Capsicum annuum, can be of various colors, including red, green, yellow, and orange, each contributing a slightly different flavor, from sweet to mildly spicy.

The origin of the bell pepper is found in Central and South America, where it has been cultivated and consumed by indigenous cultures for thousands of years. With the arrival of Europeans, its cultivation spread throughout the world, making it an essential ingredient in many cuisines, especially Mediterranean, Latin American, and Asian.

Bell pepper strips are ideal for sautéing, roasting, including in salads, stews, fajitas, or as a side dish in various meals. They are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber, making them a healthy choice to enrich any recipe.

In the Hispanic American context, besides "tiras de pimiento," synonyms such as "juliana de pimiento" or simply "tiritas de morrón" (especially in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile) can also be found. The term "morrón" is used in some regions to refer to the sweet bell pepper, primarily the red or green one.
