Peppers, How Sweet You Are!

I don’t know when it happened, but there was a time when a bell pepper was just green. Perhaps it was that green was all there was in the generic grocery produce department. Good old reliable green. Harvested once they reached a respectable size, they did dominate. Because they are the least ripe, they remain the cheapest. But as producers saw an avenue for increasing profits, they let their peppers mature and watched the public literally eat up the yellows, the oranges and the reds.

With color came increased price. That’s reasonable. Nonetheless, I do cringe at three-color packages for $5. Leaving them to mature, holding parts of your harvest, I get it, but anything close to $2 for a vibrant bell pepper puts it out of reach for many. Investing in your health, and using your fresh food wisely is always the right choice.

Members of the night shade family (eggplant, potatoes and tomatoes), peppers are not just a garnish but deliver serious nutrition. Referred to as sweet peppers, they lack capsaicin which make the hot, HOT! Sweet peppers’ nutritional content varies quite a bit. Take Vitamin A: 12% in green, 36% on yellow and 105% in red. Bell peppers are abundant in Vitamin C: 137% in green, 282% in yellow and 292% in red.

Sweet peppers have been cultivated for more than 9,000 years. Prolific across Central and South America, European colonists of the 1500-1600’s gave them the moniker “pepper” when they sent them back to the continent. Their original name, “pimiento,” was Spanish. (Red peppers are the source of pimentos and paprika!)

Eat one like an apple and always think what a pepper can do for a salad. The tempting array in the market demands you think outside the box and add peppers whenever you can. Tuna and chicken salad benefit from the crunch. Pepper slices brighten a vegetable tray and can hold some serious hummus or creamy cheese.

Peppers are actually easy to choose wisely. Pick peppers that are uniformly firm, smooth, blemish-free and vibrant in color. As discussed but worth reiterating, nutrition increases as peppers go from green, to yellow, to orange, to red. Unwashed peppers will keep well in the refrigerator veg drawer for 7-10 days. Lovers of hydration, gently wrap them in moist cloth or paper towel in a loose plastic produce bag. Never remove the stem before ready to use. Peppers can fare well when frozen whole in a sealed plastic bag, stretching your fresh dollar even further.
