Bell Pepper Conversion: Medium Count to Chopped US Cups
An approximate guide to the yield of cored, seeded, and chopped bell peppers (any color) in US cups from a given number of medium-sized bell peppers.
| Number of Medium Bell Peppers |
Chopped Yield (US Cups) (approx.) |
| 1 medium bell pepper | ~1 cup |
| 2 medium bell peppers | ~2 cups |
| 3 medium bell peppers | ~3 cups |
Important Considerations for Bell Pepper Yield:
- These are general estimates. The actual yield can vary based on:
- **Bell Pepper Size & Shape:** "Medium" bell peppers can differ. Some are blockier, others more elongated. Wall thickness also varies.
- **Size of Chop:** A fine dice will pack more densely than a large, rough chop. This chart assumes a standard dice (e.g., 1/4 to 1/2 inch).
- **Amount of Trimming:** How much of the core, seeds, and ribs are removed.
- A common rule of thumb is that **1 medium bell pepper yields about 1 cup chopped**.
- If a recipe requires a very precise amount of bell pepper, it's best if the recipe specifies a weight or a volume of *chopped* bell pepper.
- One cup of chopped bell pepper weighs approximately 140-150 grams (about 5 ounces).
