Bell peppers are in season right now in Florida - and I am completely obsessed with eating as many as possible. Bell peppers are a relatively low carb vegetable that can be eaten in so many ways I never get bored.
How To Pick The Best Bell Pepper
Besides looking for bell peppers that are nice and firm and vibrant in color, you also want to check the bottom of your bell peppers when shopping. Bell peppers with four "bumps" on the bottom tend to be a bit sweeter than ones with only three.
