But it’s all worth it for the time we get to spend close to the ones we love. 22Thanksgiving is all about tradition. Every family has their own and each is different.

It’s very important to know how to pick fresh peppers so that they will last a long time. Always look for glossy, firm, unwrinkled skin with bright green stems. A reliable indicator of quality is the logo that says “Greenhouse Grown,” which ensures your peppers are grown in a precisely controlled environment. HOW HEALTHY ARE PEPPERS? Peppers of all types contain essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants you need to feel at your best. ARE PEPPERS FRUITS OR VEGETABLES? Contrary to what people may think, peppers are technically considered a fruit because they come from a flowering plant and contain seeds, although in the kitchen they are treated as culinary vegetables. DO PEPPERS HAVE MORE VITAMIN C THAN AN ORANGE? Yes, Bell Peppers and Mini Sweet Peppers contain more Vitamin C than an orange per serving. Believe it or not, Bell Peppers provide almost three times more Vitamin C than an orange and enough to meet your daily needs, so make sure to add sliced peppers to your daily diet!
