How to Select and Prepare Peppers

Tip of the Day






When selecting green, red, or yellow peppers, there are a few things you should look for. They should be shiny and firm. They shouldn’t show signs of shriveling or have any soft or brown spots.

To prepare peppers… cut the top off and pull out the core and seeds. Rinse them under cold water and dry well. Cut the sections along the white membrane and discard the membranes. Then you’re ready to dice, chop or julienne the pepper according to your recipe instructions.
