Season calendar

If you are looking for a fresh red pepper, with an intense and aromatic flavor, I recommend that you buy red pepper grown in the Canary Islands during the fall or winter. The climate of the Canary Islands is ideal for growing red pepper, and the Canary red pepper is known for its quality.

Autumn (September to November): The climate is cooler and more humid, which favors the growth of red pepper. It is the best time to buy red pepper in the Canary Islands. The red pepper grown in the Canary Islands during these months is fresh, with an intense and aromatic flavor.
Winter (December to February): The weather remains cool and humid, allowing red pepper to grow strong and healthy. The red pepper grown in the Canary Islands during these months is also of good quality, but can be a little more expensive than red pepper grown in autumn.
Spring (March to June): The weather warms and becomes drier, but red pepper can continue to grow with regular watering. Red pepper grown in the Canary Islands during these months may be a little more expensive than red pepper grown in autumn or winter, but it is still of good quality.
Summer (July to August): The weather is very hot and dry, which can make it difficult for red pepper to grow. Red pepper grown in the Canary Islands during these months can be more expensive and of lower quality than red pepper grown at other times of the year.

Selection tips

Sure, 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 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 have no smell, they are not fresh.
Choose peppers that are the right size for your recipe. Red peppers come in a variety of sizes, from small to large. Choose the size that is right for your recipe.

Conservation

Here are some tips for storing red 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. This will help keep the peppers fresh and crisp.
