Red & Yellow Capsicum - Bell Peppers (2 Piece)

Red and yellow bell peppers, two pieces a pack, grown by our farmer members and cut close to the delivery day. Coloured capsicum is left on the plant to ripen instead of being picked green, and that extra time on the plant is where the sweetness comes from. Both are rich in vitamin C when eaten raw.

Sliced thin they go into koshimbir or a salad with no cooking at all. On heat they keep their shape better than green capsicum, so they work stuffed and baked, tossed through pulao, cooked with paneer, or roasted till the skin blisters and then peeled for a smoky chutney. Yellow is the milder one, red the sweeter.

Order 1 Pack or 2 Pack, two pieces in each.

Leave them loose in the fridge drawer. Sealed in plastic they sweat and soften around the stalk within a day. Add them to the week's organic vegetables order, or pick up tender bhindi while you are there.
