What it is
These are pre-cut strips of bell peppers in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, and green. They are typically found in the produce section, often in a sealed bag or container. The peppers are washed and sliced, making them ready for immediate use in cooking. This convenient option saves time on preparation, especially when you need a quick addition to a meal. The mix of colors adds visual appeal to dishes.

Mixed pepper strips are a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into many different types of meals. They add a fresh flavor and a pop of color.
- Stir-fries

You can add these pepper strips directly to your cooking. When making fajitas, sauté them with onions until tender-crisp. They can also be folded into omelets or scrambled eggs for a colorful breakfast. For a fresh salad, add them raw for a crunchy texture and mild sweetness. The pre-cut nature means less prep work for busy cooks.
