Sweet Peppers

We’ve gone wild with sweet peppers.  Our peppers colored peppers come in a range of colors, including: red, orange, and yellow.  Sweet peppers have great flavor.  Colored peppers tend to be much sweeter than green peppers. Each color has a distinct flavor.  Red pepper has a deep, sweet flavor, while orange peppers are often sweeter, and the yellow peppers just taste like sunshine on a summer day.

Selecting the best: Peppers tend to have a shiny, waxy looking skin.  They can vary in color and sometimes have shades of color on the same pepper.  Fun fact: nearly all peppers start out green, then turn to the color of the variety grown.  Peppers can last up to a couple of weeks.

Storing: Store uncut peppers in the refrigerator.  Put cut peppers in a sealed container and store in the refrigerator.  Fresh peppers can be chopped and stored in the freezer in a sealed container.  Frozen, chopped peppers are a great to add flavor to any cooked dish.
