Product Details: Mardi Gras Bells!
Oh yeah babe! This kicked up bell pepper assortment is hand selected and ready to make you happy, happy, happy! Sweet, crisp, and fresh in every bite, these bell peppers will be wonderful, whether you eat 'em raw in salads, stuff 'em, toss'em on the grill for some shish-kabobs or slice them up for some tasty fajita's! What ever it is you do, we know you will love 'em! Unlike the green bell peppers that are picked before they are ripe and have a tangy, robust flavor, colored bells like the red, orange and yellow are left to ripen on the vine. As they change color, their natural sugars develop resulting in a sweeter, milder and more subtle flavor. They are even more nutritious with more vitamins A and C than the ordinary green ones.
