Capsicum (Orange)

Product Overview:
Orange Capsicum is often considered the "hidden gem" of the bell pepper family. Sourced from high-tech greenhouses that ensure perfect color development, these peppers are prized for their unique balance of flavor. While red peppers are deeply sweet and green are savory, the orange variety offers a crisp, "citrus-fresh" sweetness that is incredibly refreshing. Because they are harvested at a specific point of ripeness, they maintain a firm, crunchy structure that makes them a favorite for both raw snacking and high-end culinary presentation.

Key Features:

Fruity & Refreshing Flavor: Possesses a distinct, clean sweetness that lacks the earthy notes of other peppers, making it the most "fruit-like" of the group.

Extra-Thick & Juicy Walls: Selected for their heavy weight-to-size ratio, ensuring a succulent bite and high juice content.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every capsicum is hand-inspected for a firm base, a glossy "mirror-like" finish, and a sturdy green stem to guarantee peak hydration (SQA Checked).

Exceptional Color Retention: Stays bright and vibrant even after light steaming or sautéing, adding a professional "chef's touch" to any plate.
