COOKING AND HEALTH TIPS:
Buying Peppers
When buying fresh peppers, choose those that are a little wrinkled but still unblemished. Wrinkling indicates
mellowness.

Chopped Onions & Green Peppers
Buy frozen chopped onion or green peppers for a quick recipe shortcut, or since they freeze so well, chop a whole bunch at once and freeze them in single servings.
