Tips & Tricks
Which Color is the most Healthy?
The USDA highlights which peppers contain which benefits. Red, orange, and yellow bell peppers have practically equal amounts of vitamin A and vitamin C in them. Only red contains lycopene. Yellow and orange are rich in carotenoids.
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.
