Cooking Tips
🫑 Bell Peppers
- Red bell peppers are the sweetest — they're just fully ripened green peppers.
- Roast peppers over an open flame or broiler for a smoky, silky texture.
- Cut peppers from the outside in to avoid the bitter white pith.
Nutrition: Extremely high in vitamin C — one red pepper has 169% of your daily value.
Storage: Refrigerate whole peppers for up to 2 weeks. Cut peppers last 3-5 days.
🍚 Rice
- Rinse rice 2-3 times before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Use a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water for fluffy results.
- Let rice rest covered for 10 minutes after cooking, then fluff with a fork.
Nutrition: Good source of energy and manganese. Brown rice adds fiber and B vitamins.
Storage: Dry rice lasts 2+ years. Cooked rice keeps 4-6 days refrigerated.
