Green Peppers

Green Peppers rank eighth, appearing on 17% of pizzas worldwide, where they anchor the classic 'supreme' combination with fresh crunch and subtle sweetness. Unlike Black Olives (#7), which soften into briny bursts, green peppers retain up to 80% of their cell structure after baking, maintaining distinct texture amid melted cheese. Their water content drops by 15% during cooking, concentrating natural sugars and creating a mild caramelization on the edges. This textural resilience outperforms onions, which wilt into soft strands, making green peppers a structural backbone for loaded pies. Each serving provides 120% of the daily vitamin C requirement, adding nutritional heft to their crisp appeal.
