iN-SEASON + ALABAMA GROWN
BELL PEPPERS
The Alabama growing season for peppers begins mid June through mid October, depending on weather. However, peppers may be grown year-round hydroponically.
A member of the nightshade family, peppers are sweet and bitter. They come in beautiful colors, but all members of the Capsicum family start out green and then turn yellow, red, or orange! It's the same variety, but each of the colors is a different cultivar.
To preserve your freshly grown peppers, wash them and cut out the stems. Slice in half and remove the seeds. Freeze them in a single layer on a cookie sheet for an hour in your freezer before transferring them to freezer bags.
Don't forget to pick up your Alabama-grown peppers at the Winter Market at Pepper Place on Saturday and give this in-season recipe a try!
