Purple bell peppers, also known as Purple Beauty peppers, are a striking variety of Capsicum annuum, distinguished by their deep, rich purple hue that can appear almost black when fully mature. Unlike many peppers in the Capsicum family, purple bells contain no capsaicin, which means they are sweet and mild, much like their red, yellow, and green counterparts. Originating from South America, these peppers have been cultivated for their unique color, which not only adds visual appeal to dishes but also retains its vibrant color when eaten raw. Interestingly, when cooked, these peppers can turn green due to a change in chlorophyll, adding an element of culinary surprise. Historically, while bell peppers have been part of human diets for thousands of years, the purple variety has gained popularity more recently in culinary and gardening circles for its aesthetic and health benefits, including high levels of antioxidants.
