Organic Multi-Colored Bell Peppers

Roasting Peppers

Multi-colored bell peppers are sliced bell peppers of a variety of colors mixed together.  The peppers are blanched, cooled, frozen, and vacuum packaged to maintain quality.  No preservatives are used.  They are packaged in 4 oz. (1/4 lb.) bags so that each bag constitutes a one cup serving.  Multi-Colored Bell Peppers are sold by the pound, so each package is comprised of four bags.  These can be used in place of fresh fresh peppers in cooked products. 

        Like all of the food that is sold by Hometown Foods LLC., bell peppers are superior in health benefits.  See Nutrition Notes below to learn more health information.
