Green pepper
Green pepper (also known as
sweet pepper or
bell pepper) is a mild pepper of the genus
Capsicum. They can be green, red, yellow or orange, depending when harvested. Specifically, green peppers are unripened bell peppers. Peppers were grown in
Central and
South America in pre-Columbian times. Pepper seeds were later carried to
Spain in 1493 and from there spread to other
European and
Asian countries.
