Capsicum (Green)

Product Overview:
Green Capsicum (also known as Green Bell Pepper) is a cornerstone of global cuisine, prized for its ability to add texture and a "clean" herbaceous flavor to any dish. Sourced from farms that prioritize soil health, our capsicums are harvested at the peak of their savory stage. Unlike red or yellow varieties, green capsicums offer a slightly sharper, more robust flavor that stands up beautifully to high-heat cooking. These are "thick-walled" varieties, ensuring you get more substance and a better crunch in every bite.

Key Features:

Thick & Meaty Walls: Selected for their heavy weight and dense structure, providing a superior "snap" and a satisfying mouthfeel.

Bold Savory Flavor: Offers a crisp, garden-fresh taste with a characteristic peppery finish that balances rich or spicy ingredients.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every capsicum is hand-inspected to ensure a glossy, unblemished skin and a firm, vibrant green stem—the primary indicator of hydration and freshness (SQA Checked).

High Heat Stability: Holds its shape and color exceptionally well during sautéing, grilling, or roasting.
