Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming bell peppers.
- When you’re out shopping for bell peppers, look for ones that are firm, have smooth skin, and feel heavy in your hand.
- When you get home with your peppers, keep them on the countertop in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
- If you’re planning on storing your bell peppers for a long time (more than a week), you should refrigerate them. Don’t put them next to apples or other fruits that give off ethylene gas—this speeds up the ripening process and can cause your bell peppers to spoil faster.
- You can bake or add them to soups, as well as a grill or sauté them. The options are endless!
- Feel free to add bell peppers to any recipe that calls for cooked vegetables.
