Peppers

Selection Information

Usage: Cooked, baked roasted & raw in salads.

Selection: Good-quality bell peppers will be firm, smooth-skinned and fairly evenly-shaped. The coloring will be even with no blemishes. Most varieties of peppers will turn from green to red as they ripen, but some turn yellow, purple or even brown. As peppers ripen, their sugar content increases. Some yellow varieties are the only peppers that are the same color in both the immature and mature stages.

Avoid: Avoid product that is soft, has wrinkled skin or is bruised.
