Bell pepper, diced substitutes

Tested swaps for diced bell pepper, with ratios and sources.

Equal diced poblano (1:1) — adds mild heat (1,000–1,500 SHU) (PepperScale)
Similar thick walls and structure. Roast and peel if waxy skin is a concern. Not a swap for heat-averse eaters or kids.
Equal diced pimento (sweeter than red bell pepper) (PepperScale)
Pimentos are extra sweet and very mild — best where sweetness matters more than structure (pizzas, stir-fries, pimento cheese).

Measure substitutes by weight where you can. The Bell pepper, diced converter gives the grams.

Note: our substitutions are direct, not chained — we don't recommend substituting a substitute.
