Selection
At NatureSweet, we ensure a selection that is well-shaped, firm, and glossy with taut and unwrinkled skins and fresh, green stems. We recommend enjoying our peppers while they are thick-walled and juicy. To test this: they should feel heavy for their size. Avoid bell peppers with soft or sunken bruises, slashes, or black spots as they are past their prime.
