A bit of red pepper trivia: The green peppers you buy are actually the red variety, simply picked before they have ripened to red. This explains why they are sweeter and more expensive than the green bells, as the farmers need to tend the crops for a longer period of time. The harvest time is typically late summer and autumn. The ripened red peppers are more nutrient rich, having 9 times the antioxidant carotene and twice the vitamin C of green peppers. When choosing red peppers, look for those that feel heavy, have a wrinkle and blemish free skin, and a strong healthy stem. Select organic peppers if possible, as bell peppers are one of the most heavily fertilized vegetables.       related searches : Creamy
