Yellow bell peppers are left on the plant until they turn a deep golden yellow. During those extra weeks the walls thicken and the sugars build up, so the pepper loses the bitterness of a green one and becomes mild, juicy and fruity. They are grown in smaller volumes than green peppers, so they cost a little more.
Our partner growers in Togo pick them at full colour in the dry season and sort them by size, shape and wall thickness.
How we supply them:
- Two sizes, about 150 g and 200 g per pepper.
- Three lot formats: basket (20 kg), crate (50 kg) and pallet (200 kg), in ventilated cartons.
- Kept at 7–10 °C. Peppers stay fresh 2 to 3 weeks, so we ship them by air freight.
Their colour lifts any plate: raw in salads and crudités, roasted, grilled, or mixed with red and green peppers for tri-colour packs. Every lot is traceable to the farm.
Red, green and yellow peppers can go in the same order.
