PEPPERS BELL GREEN CHOICE
The bell pepper is versatile pepper used in many different cuisines around the world and it is essential to Cajun cuisine, where it forms part of the famous Holy Trinity of vegetables. The skin is firm, glossy, and pale green when young, turning to a bright yellow with age. Orange bell peppers are typically crunchy and juicy with a mild, sweet flavor. They’re a great source of vitamin A, C, calcium, iron, and potassium. When stored properly orange bell peppers will keep up to one week when stored unwashed in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.
