How to Pick

When choosing red capsicums, look for ones that are firm and have a glossy, vibrant red skin. Avoid any with soft spots or wrinkles, as these may indicate spoilage. It's also a good idea to select capsicums that feel heavy for their size, as this can be a sign of freshness and juiciness. 

Opt for ones with a green stem still attached, as this can indicate that they were picked at the peak of ripeness. Always inspect the capsicums thoroughly to ensure you're getting the best quality for your recipes or snacking.

How to Store

Red capsicums should be stored in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming soft. 

Keep them unwashed and stored in a plastic bag to retain moisture. For optimal flavor, use within 5-7 days of purchase. Avoid storing near ethylene-producing fruits, as this can cause them to ripen and spoil more quickly.

Where it’s Sourced

Our vibrant red capsicums are cultivated in the sun-drenched fields of Victoria and South Australia, where the rich soil and Mediterranean-like climate contribute to their robust flavor and crisp texture.
