How to Choose fresh sweet peppers

Selection:


Look for the plumpest, juiciest, most brightly colored peppers available. Regardless of the color it should be clear and shiny. Avoid peppers that are shriveled or wrinkled, have soft spots or cracks, is dull looking, or show signs of mold. In general, the redder the pepper, the sweeter it will be.


Most sweet peppers are available in market all year long, though you may find locally grown, very freshly picked peppers at farm stands during the summer and into the early fall.
