Something you can make with green bell pepper
Origin
The green bell pepper is believed to have originated in Central and South America, specifically in the region that is now Mexico and northern parts of South America. It was later introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus during his voyages in the late 15th century. Today, green bell peppers are widely cultivated in many countries around the world, including the United States, Mexico, Spain, China, and Turkey.
