Seasonal Calendar
If you're looking for a fresh, intensely flavored, and aromatic red pepper, I recommend buying red peppers grown in the Canary Islands during the autumn or winter. The Canary Islands' climate is ideal for growing red peppers, and Canarian red peppers are renowned for their quality.
- Autumn (September to November): The weather is cooler and wetter, which favors the growth of red peppers. This is the best time to buy red peppers in the Canary Islands. Red peppers grown in the Canary Islands during these months are fresh, with an intense and aromatic flavor.
- Winter (December to February): The weather remains cool and humid, allowing red peppers to grow strong and healthy. Red peppers grown in the Canary Islands during these months are also of good quality, but they can be slightly more expensive than red peppers grown in autumn.
- Spring (March to June): The weather warms up and becomes drier, but red peppers can continue to grow with regular watering. Red peppers grown in the Canary Islands during these months may be slightly more expensive than those grown in autumn or winter, but they are still of good quality.
- Summer (July to August): The weather is very hot and dry, which can hinder the growth of red peppers. Red peppers grown in the Canary Islands during these months may be more expensive and of lower quality than red peppers grown at other times of the year.
Selection tips
Of course, here are some tips for choosing red peppers:
- Look for peppers that are firm and have a good color. Red peppers should be firm to the touch and should not have any soft spots or bruises. The color should be bright and uniform.
- Avoid peppers that are soft or have yellow or brown spots. These peppers are not fresh and will not taste good.
- Smell the peppers. Fresh peppers should have a strong, fruity smell. If they don't smell, they're not fresh.
- Choose bell peppers that are the right size for your recipe. Red bell peppers come in a variety of sizes, from small to large. Choose the size that is appropriate for your recipe.
Conservation
Here are some tips for storing red bell peppers:
- Store the peppers in the refrigerator. Red peppers will stay fresh for about 7 days in the refrigerator.
- Do not wash the peppers before storing them. Wash the peppers just before using them.
- Wrap the peppers in aluminum foil or a damp paper towel before storing them. This will help keep the peppers fresh and crisp.
