Description

Red Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a popular fruit vegetable known for its sweet taste, vibrant red color, and high nutritional value. It is widely used in salads, cooking, and continental dishes.

This plant grows well both indoors in pots and outdoors in garden beds or kiyari, making it perfect for home gardeners. It requires full sunlight and proper care to develop fully ripened red fruits (green peppers turn red when mature).

Capsicum plants are compact, productive, and suitable for small spaces like balconies and terraces. With proper care, they provide multiple harvests throughout the season.
