Add any kind of sweet PEPPERS to your meals. You'll want to follow these tips: 

  • Storage- Best in the refrigerator vegetable crisper for no longer than 10 (ten) days. 
  • Snacking- Farmer Phil says, "They are so good, just grab the stem and eat like an apple." 
  • Freezing- Easy to freeze, no cooking involved. Remove the seeds and stem, cut into bite sizes pieces. Place into small Ziploc bags (portioned for a recipe) and throw in the freezer. For cooked recipes later, Farm-wife Diane says, "Frozen peppers thaw quickly so I usually throw them into the recipe still frozen."

If you want to "spice it up", check out these HOT peppers to see if they are the right amount of KICK for you: 

  • Ancho Pablano- The mildest of the hot peppers. Commonly added to Mexican dishes such as chiles rellenos. 
  • Jalapeno- Commonly used in salsa and sauces or dried as a chipotle flavor. 
  • Hungarian- Sometimes confused with banana peppers, these peppers are about as hot as a jalapeno.
