Peppers

Taste: Depending on the colour of the red bell pepper, you'll get a different taste. Red peppers have a sweet, almost fruity taste. Green are more bitter. Orange and yellow have a refreshing fruity taste as well. All bell peppers have the same satisfying crunch!

When to Look for Peppers: You can find peppers at markets during the end of the summer. 

Best Uses for Peppers: Peppers are delicious when eaten raw, but they are also a healthy addition to stir frys, quesadillas, and sandwiches. Try stuffing a pepper with quinoa and veggies and baking it!
