Bell Pepper Suppliers - Wholesale & Bulk

Bell pepper suppliers connect the global food industry to dried forms such as cuts, flakes, granules, and powder, ensuring stable quality and year-round availability. These ingredients are widely applied in sauces, spice blends, ready meals, and snack seasonings.

What is Bell Pepper?

Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum), also known as sweet pepper, is cultivated in many regions worldwide. For dried production, peppers are harvested at maturity, deseeded, washed, and dehydrated through air or sun drying. Depending on the level of grinding, the dried peppers are available as larger cuts, medium flakes, finer granules, or finely milled powder.

Types, Varieties & Forms of Bell Pepper

• Bell pepper cut: larger dried pieces for soups, sauces, and vegetable mixes.
• Bell pepper flakes: uniform flakes used in instant meals and spice blends.
• Bell pepper granules: mid-sized particles, popular in seasoning mixes.
• Bell pepper powder: fine powder used as a natural flavoring and colorant in sauces, snacks, and marinades.
• Color varieties: dried red, green, and yellow peppers, each with distinct flavor profiles.

Harvest Season of Bell Pepper

Bell peppers are typically harvested in the summer and early autumn months, though exact timing depends on the region. In Europe and North America, harvest runs from July to October, while in warmer climates like India and China, cultivation and drying can continue almost year-round.
