TRICOLOR PEPPER (PREORDER)

~20 lbs Tricolor Pepper aka "Tricolor Bell Pepper", "Tricolor Sweet Pepper", "San-Se-Jiao", "三色椒" Tricolor pepper is a mix of green, yellow, orange, or red pepper. The peppers are plump, bell-shaped with a white pith and a cluster of small white seeds inside. The seeds are edible but are generally discarded. The green pepper is mild, the yellow pepper is a bit sweeter with a fruity note, the orange pepper tastes similar to yellow pepper but sweeter, and the red pepper is the sweetest of all. Tricolor pepper is a great color addition to your dishes and is often stuffed and roasted. Tricolor pepper is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection Tricolor pepper is firm, plump, and bright green. Tricolor pepper shows no signs of cracks, decay, or shriveled skin. Storage Tricolor pepper should be stored at 45°F - 55°F (7°C - 13°C) with a relative humidity of ninety to ninety-five percent and no mist. The typical shelf life is two to three weeks. Shelf life can be extended by another week by packaging in moisture-retentive films under optimal storage temperature. Storage temperature above 55°F (13°C) will accelerate ripening and bacterial soft rot. Tricolor pepper is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Tricolor pepper should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid softening. Tricolor pepper produces a very low level of ethylene. Tricolor pepper is sensitive to chilling injury at storage below 45°F (7°c). Symptoms include surface pitting, water-soaked areas, decay, and discoloration of the seed cavity. Colored pepper is less sensitive to chilling injury than the green pepper.
