Chili peppers are a great way to add extra heat to a recipe, but they’re not always spicy. There are 50,000 types of pepper, and some of them are delicious, versatile, nutritious, and, most importantly for those who aren’t huge fans of spice, mild.
Bell peppers, for example, are sweet, slightly tangy, no-heat chili peppers, which are rich in vitamins and fiber. They’re also satisfyingly crunchy when you eat them raw, and they add a beautiful pop of color to your dishes.
