A red bell pepper is simply a green pepper that has been given time. Our partner growers leave the fruit on the plant for several extra weeks until it turns deep red: the walls thicken, the bitterness disappears and the pepper becomes sweet and fragrant. Those extra weeks are also why red peppers cost more than green ones.
The peppers are picked at full colour, then sorted 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.
Roast them, stuff them, slice them into salads and stir-fries or blend them into sauces. Every lot is traceable to the farm.
Red, green and yellow peppers can go in the same order.
