Egyptian Capsicum “Peppers”
Brightly coloured and sweet flavoured, peppers (also
known as bell peppers) are a versatile vegetable that are
eaten both raw and cooked and are used in many
different cuisines including Chinese, Thai, Mexican,
Spanish, Italian and French. A choice of different colours
are available all peppers are originally green, and as they
ripen and sweeten they turn red, orange or yellow.
Peppers are sometimes skinned before using this can
help to enhance their sweet flavour. When buying look
for firm textured, bright and shiny peppers, and bear in
mind that orange, red and yellow varieties have a
sweeter flavour than green peppers. Avoid bruised,
wrinkled or blemished peppers as they will be past their
best.
