Description

Green bell peppers are the best companion for any salad or main dish! These peppers are identified by their bright golden-red color and distinctive bell-like shape. The skin should be firm, shiny, and bright. The flesh will be slightly thick, very crisp and with minimal seeds and a mildly sweet flavor. Choice grades are identified by their slightly misshapen appearance and can vary in size from small to extra large. Colors can vary slightly from pale green with tinges of yellow to full, bright green.
