Peppers
About: Peppers are fun, colorful, vibrant and can bring life to any dish. Some peppers like Bell peppers are mild and sweet. Those are best for roasting and stuffing and stir frying or just eating plain raw. Spicy ones like Jalapeño peppers are actually good to stuff as well despite being spicy. Growing them in your garden will be a beautiful sight, they’re like edible ornaments or decorations!
