Yellow Peppers

Brighten up your kitchen with fresh yellow peppers, the sweet and vibrant bell peppers that add both stunning color and delicious flavor to countless dishes. These glossy, thick-walled peppers belong to the capsicum family and are essentially the same variety as green bell peppers, but allowed to ripen longer on the plant, developing their characteristic sunny yellow hue and sweeter taste profile. Yellow peppers offer a crisp, juicy texture with a mild, sweet flavor that's less bitter than their green counterparts and slightly more delicate than red peppers. Their natural sweetness makes them incredibly versatile for both raw and cooked applications. Enjoy them fresh in salads, as colorful crudité with dips, or stuffed with rice, herbs, and proteins for a classic Mediterranean-inspired meal. These peppers are staples in cuisines worldwide, from Italian pasta dishes and Spanish paellas to Mexican fajitas and Asian stir-fries. When cooking with yellow peppers, try roasting them to concentrate their sweetness and develop a slightly smoky flavor, or sauté them quickly to maintain their bright color and crisp texture. They pair beautifully with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and fresh herbs like basil or oregano. For easy weeknight meals, toss sliced yellow peppers into pasta dishes, grain bowls, or omelets. Their natural sweetness also makes them excellent for grilling alongside other summer vegetables or incorporating into homemade salsas and relishes that complement grilled meats and fish.
