PEPPERS

Peppers, both sweet and hot, originated in Central and South America. In Minnesota, they are harvested and locally available between mid-July and mid-September. They are great for your skin and immunity due to their large amounts of vitamins A, C, and E. Bell peppers are the only member of the pepper family to not contain capsaicin, the main compound that gives chili peppers their heat.

 Suggested month to celebrate: July
