Description:

Poivron/ Bell peppers are the fruit of a flowering plant. They have a rounded square shape with three or four lobes and are generally hollow within, containing a large number of tiny, flat, white seeds. Bell peppers are technically fruits because they are the part of the plant that contains the seeds, regardless of the fact that they are frequently used in cooking as vegetables. They have this characteristic with other fruits that are also used as vegetables, including tomatoes, string beans, zucchini, and cucumbers.
