Red Bell Pepper

Red bell peppers are large, bell-shaped, and red in color. They are significantly sweeter than green bell peppers because they are left on the plant to grow longer. They’re actually harvested approximately 30 days later than green bell peppers.

They can be enjoyed either raw or cooked. When served raw, bell peppers have a crisp texture that lends itself to salads. When bell peppers are cooked they take on a smoky, sweetness that enhances many dishes.
