About Bell Pepper – Chocolate
Chocolate Bell Peppers are rare specialty variety with unique chocolate-brown color when fully ripe. The color comes from combination of pigments creating this unusual hue. Despite the name and color, they don’t taste like chocolate – they offer sweet pepper flavor with slightly more earthy, complex notes than standard bells. The chocolate color is most pronounced when fully ripe. These peppers are rich in vitamins and offer same nutritional benefits as other bells. A conversation starter that adds unique visual interest.
