Tasting Notes from the Curator
Red Bell Pepper Extra boasts a distinctive flavor profile marked by a harmonious blend of sweetness, mildness, and subtle savory undertones. Its fresh aroma exhibits mild, fruity notes with slight green vegetal undertones, while its roasted aroma reveals a rich, smoky essence with caramelized sweetness. Upon tasting, the dominant sweetness matures, balanced by mild, gentle flavors. Cooking enhances these flavors, adding smoky sweetness and caramelized depth. The texture varies from crisp and juicy when fresh, to tender and silky when roasted, retaining firmness and moisture when stuffed. This diverse profile sets it apart as a unique and versatile ingredient in its category.

Stuffed Peppers: Fill with ground beef and rice or quinoa and black beans for a hearty meal. Roasted or Grilled: Serve alongside grilled vegetables or meats for a smoky, sweet flavor.
