Mixed Peppers

Mixed peppers are a blend of different varieties of the fruit of plants from the genus *Capsicum*, commonly referred to as bell peppers or sweet peppers. They are typically grown in temperate climates and are harvested when ripe, then often chopped or diced for use in cooking. The specific mix can vary, but often includes red, yellow, and green peppers.

Mixed peppers are used to add colour, flavour, and texture to a wide range of savoury dishes. Manufacturers add them to products like sauces, ready meals, and dips to enhance their visual appeal and provide a fresh, slightly sweet taste. They are a common ingredient in ethnic cuisines and prepared foods.

Mixed peppers are a source of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibre. They are not considered a food additive and do not have an E-number. As a whole food, they are a nutritious part of a balanced diet. The UK's Eatwell Guide encourages the consumption of a variety of fruits and vegetables.
