冷凍グリーンペッパーストリップスのご紹介
Frozen green pepper strips refer to a deep-processed vegetable product made by quickly freezing fresh green bell peppers (or pimento peppers) after slicing into strips through low-temperature quick-freezing technology for long-term preservation. Using “quick-freezing” technology, it maximizes the retention of green peppers’ crisp texture, fresh flavor, and nutritional value, with each strip maintaining a bright green color and a refreshing, crisp quality akin to fresh green peppers. This convenient frozen form breaks through seasonal limitations (fresh green peppers are mainly harvested from late spring to early autumn), making it a healthy seasoning or side dish option for households, catering services, and busy lifestyles. It shares the same high vitamin C (80mg/100g) and high-fiber profile as fresh green peppers (~2.1g fiber/100g) and can be quickly cooked, perfectly adapting to modern efficient living needs.
主な利点
- 栄養素の保持: Quick-freezing locks in over 90% of vitamin C (immune-boosting), β-carotene (eye-protective, converted to vitamin A), and dietary fiber (gut-friendly) before green pepper cells fully freeze (fresh green peppers lose ~20% vitamin C after 2 days at room temperature).
- 自然な風味: Free of artificial additives (e.g., preservatives, colorants), it retains green peppers’ natural sweet-pungent taste through blanching and quick-freezing (some products are lightly salted for flavor), with no rancidity or off-odors.
- 鮮やかな色合い: Standardized blanching (with ascorbic acid for color protection) effectively inhibits carotenoid degradation, keeping each strip bright green-orange (matching the color of freshly picked green peppers within 2 hours).
- 利便性: No need for washing or cutting (some products are pre-processed). Thawed strips can be directly used for stir-fries, cold dishes, fried rice, or as pizza/pasta toppings (cooked in 30 seconds-2 minutes), ideal for busy lifestyles.
- ヘルシーで低脂肪: Low in calories (~20kcal/100g) and high in fiber (2.1g/100g), rich in vitamin C (immune-boosting) and carotenoids (antioxidant), making it an excellent low-calorie flavor-enhancer for balanced diets.
利用シーン
- 毎日の家庭料理: Thawed strips are directly added to stir-fries, cold dishes, or fried rice to instantly enhance color and flavor.
- レストランのサイドディッシュ: Used in pizzas (sprinkled on cheese), pasta (mixed into sauces), or as appetizers to enrich dishes.
- ヘルシーなライトミール: A key inggreenient in salad bowls (with lettuce, chicken breast, avocado) or blended into smoothies (with bananas and spinach) for vitamin and fiber supplementation.
品質のヒント
- Store at a stable temperature below -18°C; avoid repeated thawing and refreezing (causes green pepper strips to absorb water, soften, and lose texture).
- 再加熱時間を適切に管理してください（電子レンジは中強度で30秒、沸騰したお湯への浸漬は1分が目安）。長時間高温で加熱しすぎると、食材が柔らかくなり、風味が損なわれる恐れがあります。
- Choose pure green pepper strips (no mixed vegetables or seasonings) to ensure pure flavor and concentrated nutrition.
