Sweet Red Peppers
Red peppers are green peppers allowed to mature on the vine, giving them a brighter, sweeter flavor and color. Enjoyed raw, red peppers can add a sweet, mouth-watering crunch and a splash of color to any dish. Cooked, by roasting, grilling or sauting, the flavor deepens and the texture becomes richer. Try roasting, peeling and simmering in stock before pureeing for a silky-sweet red pepper coulis; the perfect sauce for simply grilled meats, fish or poultry.

Storage and Handling:
Store peppers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to five days.
