Peppers!!!
One of our veggies for this month are peppers!! Did you know that green peppers produce odors that will be absorbed by pineapples. There are two kinds of peppers bell ( crunchy, not spicy at all) and chili ( hot ). The taste of peppers depends on maturity- red have the most color and sweet flavor, while green peppers are more on the bitter side. Yellow and orange kinda fall in the middle. Ripe and ready peppers should be firm, and their color bright. Try to avoid peppers that are shriveled, and dull looking. They are usually sold by color, but all are green before they ripen. Peppers should be stored in the refrigerator and washed before use bell peepers are a great thing to have around the house because they are so versatile. They can be put into an omelet or a stir fly to give that satisfying crunch. Bell peppers are also great raw vegetable trays, in salads, dipped in hummus or ranch dressing, even in tacos. Bell peppers are fat-free, saturated fat-free, cholesterol- free, low in calories and high in vitamin C! They are also high in calcium and fiber.
