ALL ABOUT THESE PEPPERS
Chocolate bell peppers, with their unique deep brown to chocolate coloration when ripe, are a cultivar of Capsicum annuum, which has its origins traced back to Mesoamerica, where peppers were domesticated over 5,000 years ago. These peppers became part of the global culinary scene much later, through the Columbian Exchange, where they spread to Europe and eventually worldwide. The term "bell pepper" itself encompasses a variety of colors, including this less common chocolate variety, which is prized for its sweet flavor, reminiscent of chocolate notes, without the heat typically associated with peppers due to the absence of capsaicin. Over time, selective breeding has likely enhanced the chocolate bell's distinctive color and flavor, making it a niche but sought-after ingredient in gourmet dishes.
