A Bell Pepper is a fresh vegetable that can be eaten raw, cooked or added to a wide range of dishes. It weighs 0.2 and makes a small snack on its own. Its real value is as a cooking ingredient, especially in pizza, stews and stir fries.
Bell Peppers spoil within about a week. They come from produce crates, grocery stands and restaurant fridges, and a farm can grow them. They are also good bait for rabbit and raccoon traps. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Eating
Eating a raw Bell Pepper lowers hunger by 8 and thirst by 2. It holds 30 calories, mostly from 7 grams of carbohydrates. That makes it a poor way to keep body weight up.
The pepper is safe to eat raw. It tastes better hot, so a cooked pepper gives a small mood lift if it is eaten soon after cooking.
A Bell Pepper lowers hunger by the same 8 as one of the Carrots. It is a light snack next to fruit. An Apple lowers hunger by 16 and holds 95 calories. The pepper's strength is the long list of dishes it fits into.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
A Bell Pepper cooks in 10 minutes and burns after 30. It can be cooked in an oven, a microwave or over a fire.
It adds 8 hunger to Pizza, Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Rice and Pasta. In an Omelette, a Salad or a Burrito it adds 4. In a Sandwich, a Burger, a Hotdog or a Taco it adds 2. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further in an evolved dish.
Bell Peppers can also be preserved. The Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe puts 6 peppers into a jar with vinegar, salt and water. A knife is needed and kept, along with a jar and a Jar Lid. The jar keeps far longer than the fresh vegetable.
These dishes take the Bell Pepper as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Farming
Bell Peppers grow from Bell Pepper Seeds. The Collect Seeds recipe takes seeds from a pepper using tweezers or a knife. A plant takes about 12 days to grow and gives 2 to 4 peppers at harvest. The sowing season runs from April to June, and May is the best month to plant. Peppers planted between October and March do poorly.
As trap bait, a Bell Pepper gives a 40 percent chance to attract a rabbit or a raccoon. It gives a 30 percent chance to attract a squirrel.

Storage
A Bell Pepper stays fresh for 5 days and is fully rotten by day 8. A fridge slows both counts down. For long keeping, preserving peppers in a jar is the better choice.
Locations
Bell Peppers are a common find wherever fresh food is stored. Produce crates always hold them. The grocery stands at Gigamart and grocery stores carry them about half the time. Pizza, Western and Mexican kitchen fridges hold them fairly often. Produce storage rooms and sushi kitchen fridges turn them up now and then. A house fridge can also hold one, though that is rare.
