1 piece (medium) of Green Village Pepper (40 g) has 9 calories. That works out to 22 calories per 100 g. It contains 1.8 g of carbs, 0.4 g of protein, 0.1 g of fat and 0.7 g of fiber. Its 32 mg of Vitamin C covers 36% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Green Village Pepper is a slender, pointed green pepper, typically eaten fresh or cooked while still green. Its name suggests a village-style Turkish pepper, and it fits naturally into the home cooking of Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean.
It is crisp and juicy raw, with a mild vegetal flavour; cooking softens its texture and brings out a touch of sweetness, though heat can vary. Use it sliced in salads, sautéed with eggs, grilled as a side, or stuffed for a more substantial dish. It is low in calories and provides fibre and vitamin C, making it an easy addition to vegetable-focused meals. For a lighter preparation, grill or sauté it with just a little oil.

Green Village Peppers are usually mild, but heat can vary between peppers. Taste a small piece before adding them raw to a dish, especially if you are serving them to someone sensitive to spice.
Green Village Peppers work well sautéed, grilled, roasted, or added to stews and egg dishes. For an easy side, cook sliced peppers in a pan with a little oil until tender and lightly browned.
Yes, you can eat Green Village Peppers raw. Wash them thoroughly, remove the stem, and slice them into salads or serve them with dips; taste a small piece first because their heat can vary.
Keep Green Village Peppers unwashed and dry in the refrigerator’s crisper drawer, ideally in a bag or container that allows some airflow. Wash them just before cooking or eating to avoid trapping moisture during storage.
Yes, Green Village Peppers freeze well for cooking. Wash and dry them, remove the stems, then freeze them whole or sliced in a sealed freezer bag. Their texture softens after thawing, so use them in cooked dishes.
Yes, roasting brings out a sweeter, slightly smoky flavor in Green Village Peppers. Roast them until the skin blisters, then cover them briefly so the skin loosens; peel it off if you prefer, but it is edible.
No, you do not need to remove the seeds from Green Village Peppers; they are edible. Remove the seeds and inner ribs if you want a milder taste or need a clean cavity for stuffing.
Yes, Green Village Peppers can replace bell peppers in many cooked recipes, but they are thinner and usually cook faster. They may also be hotter, so taste one first and adjust the amount to suit the dish.
Not necessarily. Green Village Pepper is a name for a slender green pepper, while “sivri biber” can refer to several pointed Turkish pepper varieties. The names may overlap in shops, but shape and heat can differ.
No, Green Village Peppers do not need peeling before cooking or eating. Their skin is edible; peeling is mainly useful after roasting if you want a softer texture or prefer not to eat the skin.
