1.What is a bell pepper?
Bell peppers, also known as sweet peppers, are a vegetable commonly found in supermarkets and other grocers, which look like a bell. They come in a large variety of colors but are most notably found in red, green, and yellow. There is not much difference in taste, however, the green bell pepper has had less time to mature than the red bell pepper so it will taste slightly more bitter.Bell peppers are available all year thanks to imports from countries such as Mexico, but this makes them more expensive during the off-season months as they have to be imported. Bell peppers can be grown locally through the months of July-November and are surprisingly simple to grow on your own in your garden. After all, nothing beats homegrown. Bell peppers originate from countries with warmer climates such as Mexico and South America, and once imported to Europe and Asia they became insanely popular and were farmed whenever possible. Because of having to import the peppers, they were quite difficult to get hold of during off-season months. So people had to find ways to preserve them, and one of the methods of preservation was dehydration.
2.Why dehydrate a bell pepper?
There are many reasons as to why you would dehydrate a bell pepper, not all of them are to do with preserving the bell pepper. Instead, dehydrated bell peppers can be used to make some really interesting meals or seasonings.
3.What Types Of Bell Peppers Can Be Dehydrated?
You can dehydrate any color of bell pepper! Red, orange, and yellow peppers will be slightly sweeter and more “fruity” than green bell peppers due to the higher sugar content that develops as the pepper matures. Choose organic peppers if possible, as bell peppers are one of the “dirty dozen” more likely to contain pesticide residues.
4.How to dehydrate a bell pepper?
The dehydration process is quite simple so long as you have the correct tools for it. For this, you will need a dehydrator and it is preferable that it has plenty of trays so that you do not run short. These can be purchased online for a decent price, but the ones with a larger capacity will be a bit more expensive.It is worth mentioning that larger pieces will take longer to dehydrate, so if you intend to have every piece be done at the exact same time then a mandolin or a similar device used for cutting will come in handy. Unless you’re an expert chef who can cut them into equal pieces by hand.
