Orange bell pepper is medium to large in size, averaging 5-8 centimeters in diameter and 5-12 centimeters in length, and are rounded, square, and blocky in shape with 3-4 lobes and a thick green stem. The smooth skin is firm, glossy, and bright orange, and underneath the skin, the equally bright orange flesh is thick, juicy, crisp, and succulent. There is also a central, hollow cavity that contains very small, flat and bitter cream-colored seeds and a thin, spongy white to pale orange membrane.
Orange bell peppers are favored by chefs and home cooks for their sweet, fruity flavor and juicy, crunchy texture. Their nutritional value is considerably more than that of the green bell pepper. Orange Bell Pepper can have twice as much vitamin C as green bell peppers and more than 10 times the vitamin A.
