Capsicum - Red

Red bell capsicums, also known as sweet peppers, are closely related to hot chillies, but sweeter tasting and not hot to eat. Red capsicums are glossy, smooth-skinned, and blocky (10-12cm long by 6-10cm across). Their thick walls enclose a large hollow and segments which seeds are attached to.

Seasonality

Available from January to December.

Serving suggestion

Sweet ted capsicums are fantastic baked, eaten fresh in salads and coleslaws, stuffed with mince or rice or roasted whole, peeled and served deli-style with crusty bread.
