Peppers (sweet)

 Storage Tips

• Peppers need to be stored in a dry enviroment to store for the longest amount of time. Trying putting them in your crisper drawer with a paper towel or brown paper bag underneath, or store in a plastic bag with no moisture in there.

• Ripe bell peppers are best if eaten within a week, green and purple bell peppers can be eaten within two weeks.

Culinary Tips

Bell peppers are great eaten raw dipped into hummus, or cut in half and stuffed with your favorite rice/protein mixture and thrown in the oven. We also love to chop them up and add to any stir-fry or roast/sauté or grill peppers and onions for fajitas in the hot summer months. Looking for a weekend breakfast idea for peppers? Try making shakshuka, which is a delicious pepper/tomato/egg recipe.

Other varieties of sweet peppers we grow are Jimmy Nardello peppers, which are extrememly sweet and a little bit goes a long way in any recipe, and these are the best for a vivid, sweet pepper flavor. We also grow Mini Bell Peppers which are best just for snacking and go great on charcuterie boards, or just eaten fresh as a crunchy snack.

Remove seeds and stem before eating.
