What is Mixed Peppers?

Mixed Peppers are a colourful combination of sweet bell peppers, commonly red, yellow, orange and green. Their crisp flesh and hollow centres make them easy to enjoy raw or cooked, and each colour brings a slightly different sweetness.

Slice them into salads, roast them for a soft, smoky side, or add them to stir-fries, sandwiches and fajitas. They also work well stuffed with grains or beans. Mixed Peppers are low in calories and provide fibre and vitamin C, making them a refreshing way to add colour and crunch to a meal. For a more filling dish, pair them with a source of protein or serve with a dip.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mixed Peppers

Are mixed peppers the same as bell peppers?

Usually, yes: mixed peppers are a selection of sweet bell peppers in different colours, rather than a blend of hot chilli peppers. Check the product description if you are buying a packaged mix, since the name can sometimes be used more broadly.

Why do mixed peppers have different colours?

The colours reflect different varieties and stages of ripeness. Green peppers are commonly less ripe and more vegetal in flavour, while red ones are typically sweeter; yellow and orange peppers often fall between them, though the exact taste varies.

Can you eat mixed peppers raw?

Yes, mixed peppers are safe to eat raw after washing. Their crisp texture works well in salads, sandwiches, and snack plates; cooking them is optional and brings out a softer texture and sweeter flavour.

How do you roast mixed peppers?

Roast mixed peppers under a hot grill, in a hot oven, or over a flame, turning them until the skins are blistered and charred in spots. Cover them briefly after cooking so the skins loosen, then peel if you prefer a smoother texture.

How should you store mixed peppers so they stay fresh?

Keep whole, unwashed mixed peppers in the refrigerator crisper drawer, ideally in a bag that allows some airflow. They generally keep for about one to two weeks; refrigerate cut pieces in a sealed container and use them within a few days.

Can you freeze mixed peppers without blanching them?

Yes, you can freeze mixed peppers raw without blanching. Wash and dry them thoroughly, remove the stems and seeds, then slice and pack them airtight. Thawed peppers become softer, so use them in cooked dishes rather than expecting a crisp salad texture.

Do you need to remove the seeds from mixed peppers?

No, removing the seeds is not necessary for safety; they are edible. Many cooks take them out along with the pale inner ribs because they prefer the texture, especially when slicing peppers for salads or preparing them for stuffing.

Are mixed peppers technically fruits or vegetables?

Botanically, mixed peppers are fruits because they develop from a flower and contain seeds. In cooking, they are treated as vegetables because their savoury flavour makes them a natural fit for salads, stir-fries, and other savoury dishes.

Why do mixed peppers taste different from green to red?

Green peppers are often harvested earlier, which gives them a firmer, more vegetal flavour. Red peppers are usually riper and sweeter; yellow and orange peppers have their own mild flavour profiles, so colour can change the taste of a dish.

Can mixed peppers be used instead of a single-colour bell pepper in recipes?

Yes, mixed peppers can replace a single-colour bell pepper in most recipes. Their flavour is similar, but pieces may vary in size and colour; for stuffed peppers, choose similarly sized ones so they cook more evenly.
