Beautiful Ripe Peppers

Red bell, bull's horn and yellow pepper

This year's heat and space in greenhouses has meant we can offer ripe peppers!  What's the fuss?   Well, a ripe pepper takes longer to ripen than a green pepper, the ripe pepper has more flavor and sweetness, and nutrition.  Why aren't they as common as green peppers?  Green peppers have longer shelf life.  If a farmer keeps picking green peppers, the plant will keep making peppers so there is higher production.  But once you have had a full flavored ripe pepper, it is worth the wait - tough to go back to green - tastes like an unripe apple!  So enjoy the reds, yellows, and great ripe pepper flavor!
