This is one vegetable that you may want to consider buying from the organic department. Recent studies show that bell peppers absorb more pesticides than other fruits and vegetables. You can find peppers in a variety of colors all year round at your green grocers. Buy firm peppers that are slightly heavy for their size. Take them home, put them in the fridge. They generally hold for quite some time, however, don't wash them until you're ready to use them. |
