Introduction to Frozen Diced Red Peppers

Frozen diced red peppers refer to a deep-processed vegetable product made by quickly freezing fresh red bell peppers (sweet peppers) after dicing through low-temperature quick-freezing technology for long-term preservation. Using “quick-freezing” technology, it maximizes the retention of red peppers’ nutritional value and natural flavor, with each piece maintaining a crisp texture and bright orange-red color akin to fresh red peppers. This convenient frozen form breaks through seasonal limitations (fresh red peppers are mainly harvested from summer to early autumn), making it a healthy seasoning ingredient for households, catering services, and busy lifestyles. It shares the same high vitamin C (140mg/100g), high-fiber (~2.1g/100g), and β-carotene-rich (828μg/100g) profile as fresh red peppers and can be quickly cooked, perfectly adapting to modern efficient living needs.

 

Key Advantages​

  1. Nutrient preservation: Quick-freezing locks in over 90% of vitamin C (antioxidant, immune-boosting), β-carotene (converted to vitamin A, eye-protective), and dietary fiber (gut-health promoting) before red pepper cells fully freeze (fresh red peppers lose ~20% vitamin C after 2 days at room temperature).
  2. Natural sweet-mild spiciness through blanching and quick-freezing (some products are lightly salted for flavor), with no rancidity or off-odors.
  3. Convenience: No need for washing or cutting (some products are pre-processed). Thawed dice can be directly used for stir-fries, cold dishes, pizzas, or pasta (cooked in 30 seconds-2 minutes), ideal for busy lifestyles.
  4. Healthy and low-fat: Low in calories (~20kcal/100g) and high in fiber (2.1g/100g), rich in vitamin C (140mg/100g, ~2x that of oranges) and potassium (211mg/100g), making it an excellent low-calorie seasoning for balanced diets.

Application Scenarios​

  1. Daily home cooking: Thawed dice are directly added to stir-fries, cold dishes, or pizzas/pasta to instantly enhance color and flavor.
  2. Restaurant seasoning: Used in salads, dips, or as a garnishto elevate dining experiences.
  3. Healthy light meals: A key ingredient in salad bowls (with lettuce, quinoa, avocado) or blended into smoothies (with bananas and spinach) to supplement vitamin C and fiber.
  4. Quick convenience:Soaked in boiling water (1 minute) or microwaved (30 seconds) to quickly enhance instant noodles, rice balls, or other fast foods.

Quality Tips​

  1. Store at a stable temperature below -18°C; avoid repeated thawing and refreezing (causes red pepper dice to absorb water, soften, and lose texture).
  2. Control reheating time (microwave on medium-high for 30 seconds, boiling water soaking for 1 minute). Avoid prolonged high heat (causes softening and flavor loss).
  3. Choose pure red pepper dice (no mixed vegetables or seasonings) to ensure pure flavor and concentrated nutrition.
