What it is
This product features a colorful assortment of bell peppers, typically including red, yellow, and orange varieties. These peppers are chosen for their vibrant hues and sweet flavor profiles. They are usually sold pre-cut or whole, offering convenience for home cooks. The peppers are a fresh produce item, intended for immediate use or short-term storage in the refrigerator.
How people cook with it
These peppers add visual appeal and a fresh, crisp texture to a wide range of dishes. They are versatile ingredients that can be used in both raw and cooked preparations.
- Stir-fries
- Salads
- Roasting
- Stuffing
To prepare, wash the peppers thoroughly under cool running water. If whole, slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and white membranes. You can then chop them into desired sizes, such as strips for stir-fries or diced for salsas. For roasting, toss with olive oil and seasonings before baking until tender and slightly charred. They can also be grilled alongside other vegetables or meats for a smoky flavor.

Unlike single-color bell peppers, this mix offers a variety of flavors and sweetness levels. Red peppers are generally the sweetest, followed by yellow and then orange. This blend provides a more complex taste and a visually appealing presentation in dishes.

Store any unused peppers in the refrigerator, ideally in a plastic bag or an airtight container. This helps to maintain their crispness and prevent them from drying out. They should be used within a few days for optimal freshness and taste.
