Sweet Peppers

This year we planted a few different varieties ranging from green, red, orange, and yellow bell peppers to red and yellow Italian sweet peppers. ⁣
⁣
A few fun facts about bell peppers:⁣
✔️ They are considered both a fruit and vegetable! (Depends who you talk to 😉)⁣
✔️Packed full of vitamin C and A⁣
✔️Taste great cooked or raw... but have you ever dried or pickled them?!⁣
✔️Red bell peppers are sweetest!⁣
✔️The scientific name for bell peppers is Capsicum annum ⁣
✔️Red peppers are actually green peppers... they just have been left on the vine to ripen longer🤯⁣
