Description

What and Where Capsicums belong to the nightshade family of flowering plants and are native to southern North America and northern South America. Yellow capsicums are actually green capsicums that have been left to ripen longer, a process that changes their colour. Our local Victorian capsicums come from the Yarra Valley. We don't buy from one particular grower; we buy whatever looks best on the day.

Flavour Sweet

Texture Firm and crisp raw or stir fried, soft and tender when cooked for longer

Use Yellow capsicums are incredibly versatile. They can be roasted, griddled, stuffed, sautéed, stir fried (as already noted), threaded onto skewers and barbequed, turned into a creamy dip, blended into a warming soup, and added to everything from slow cook casseroles and gratins to quick and easy pizzas and salads. 

Cooking Tip Some cooking techniques produce a red capsicum with a blackened skin and most recipes recommend peeling and discard this chard remain, but if you add it to a little olive oil the oil will become infused with a wonderfully rich smokey capsicum flavour that can be drizzled over all sorts of Mediterranean dishes.

Selection and Storage Choose bright and shiny capsicums that a firm, smooth and blemish free. Refrigerate. 

In Season The peak season for local, Victorian capsicums is November to May; outside these months the growing season moves to sunnier Queensland.
