Fresh Red Peppers — Each

🫑 Fresh Red Peppers — Each

Vibrant, Sweet and Packed with Vitamin C — Delivered to Your Surrey Doorstep Before 7am

About This Product

Red peppers are simply green peppers that have been allowed to fully ripen on the plant — and that extra time makes all the difference. They are sweeter, richer in colour, higher in natural vitamins and far more versatile than their unripe green counterparts. Thick, juicy flesh. Bright flavour. Genuinely one of the most nutritionally impressive vegetables in your weekly shop.

Each pepper is selected for colour depth, firmness and condition. A good red pepper should be deeply coloured, completely firm, glossy and feel solid and heavy. Any showing soft patches, wrinkles or pale colouring is rejected before packing.

Delivered fresh across Ashtead, Leatherhead, Fetcham, Bookham and Effingham before 7am.

Did You Know?

All peppers start life green. Red peppers are simply the same pepper left on the plant to fully ripen. During that time the chlorophyll breaks down, the red pigment develops and the natural sugar content increases significantly — which is why red peppers taste noticeably sweeter than green ones. They also develop significantly more Vitamin C during this ripening process.

Ways to Enjoy Them

• Slice raw into strips and dip into hummus or guacamole
• Roast whole with olive oil, garlic and herbs for a side dish or topping
• Chop and add to salads, wraps and grain bowls for sweetness and crunch
• Stuff with rice, mince or lentils and bake for a hearty meal
• Slice and stir-fry with onion and protein for a quick weeknight dinner
• Blend into a roasted red pepper soup with tomatoes and basil
• Grill and layer into sandwiches with mozzarella
