Introduction To Frozen Yellow Pepper Strips

Frozen yellow pepper strips refer to a deep-processed vegetable product made by quickly freezing fresh yellow 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 yellow peppers’ crisp texture, fresh flavor, and nutritional value, with each strip maintaining a bright yellow color and a refreshing, crisp quality akin to fresh yellow peppers. This convenient frozen form breaks through seasonal limitations (fresh yellow 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 yellow peppers (~2.1g fiber/100g) 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 (immune-boosting), β-carotene (eye-protective, converted to vitamin A), and dietary fiber (gut-friendly) before yellow pepper cells fully freeze (fresh yellow peppers lose ~20% vitamin C after 2 days at room temperature).
  2. Natural flavor: Free of artificial additives (e.g., preservatives, colorants), it retains yellow peppers’ natural sweet-pungent taste through blanching and quick-freezing (some products are lightly salted for flavor), with no rancidity or off-odors.
  3. Vibrant color: Standardized blanching (with ascorbic acid for color protection) effectively inhibits carotenoid degradation, keeping each strip bright yellow-orange (matching the color of freshly picked yellow peppers within 2 hours).
  4. Convenience: 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.
  5. Healthy and low-fat: 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.

Application Scenarios​

  1. Daily home cooking: Thawed strips are directly added to stir-fries, cold dishes, or fried rice to instantly enhance color and flavor.
  2. Restaurant sides: Used in pizzas (sprinkled on cheese), pasta (mixed into sauces), or as appetizers to enrich dishes.
  3. Healthy light meals: A key ingyellowient in salad bowls (with lettuce, chicken breast, avocado) or blended into smoothies (with bananas and spinach) for vitamin and fiber supplementation.

Quality Tips​

  1. Store at a stable temperature below -18°C; avoid repeated thawing and refreezing (causes yellow pepper strips 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 yellow pepper strips (no mixed vegetables or seasonings) to ensure pure flavor and concentrated nutrition.
