AD Red Bell Pepper

AD Red Bell Pepper is made from mature red bell peppers dehydrated using hot-air drying technology. Through precisely controlled temperature and airflow circulation, 90%-95% of moisture is removed while preserving its natural sweetness, rich aroma, and vibrant red color. The final product appears deep red to dark red with a light and crispy texture that restores softness after rehydration. It is a dried vegetable ingredient that combines visual appeal with flavor value.
