Peppers

Orange bell peppers are a sweet and mild variety of bell pepper, similar to yellow and red bell peppers in flavor profile but with their own distinct vibrant color. They are fully ripened, which gives them a sweeter taste and higher nutritional content compared to green bell peppers. Orange bell peppers are versatile and can be enjoyed raw in salads, cooked in stir fries, roasted, or stuffed, adding both color and flavor to dishes.

Storage Tips

  • Proper storage helps maintain the freshness and crispness of orange bell peppers:
  • • Refrigerator (Best Method): Store whole, unwashed orange bell peppers in a plastic
  • bag (or a produce bag) in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This helps maintain
  • humidity and keeps them fresh for up to 2 weeks.
  • • Avoid Washing Until Ready to Use: Do not wash bell peppers before storing them, as
  • excess moisture can promote mold growth.
  • • Cut Bell Peppers: Once cut, store the remaining pieces in an airtight container or a
  • tightly sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator. Use within 2-3 days.
  • • Freezing: Bell peppers can be frozen, though their texture will soften upon thawing,
  • making them best for cooked dishes. Slice or chop the peppers, spread them in a single
  • layer on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Then transfer to an airtight freezer bag or
  • container. They can last for 6-8 months.
