Seasons/Availability

Displaying three to four thick-walled lobes, the pepper has internal ribbing and seeds, which are discarded before use. Similar in flavor to a Red or Orange Holland bell pepper, the Yellow Holland bell has a mild, sweet pepper flavor with a crisp-firm texture. (Scoville units: 0-100)
Nutritional Value
Low in calories, bell peppers are sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free and an excellent source of vitamin C. One medium bell pepper contains about 30 calories.
Applications
Yellow Holland bell peppers are most often used for display. Their uniform shape, color and attached stem are ideal for centerpieces or as vessels. They may also be used in lightly cooked or fresh preparations such as salads and appetizer recipes. Pair with Red and Orange Holland bell peppers, fresh parsley and cilantro, cucumbers, jicama, soft cheeses, meats and grains. To prepare, cut off tops; remove seeds and veins; rinse well. For optimum flavor and texture, use within one week. Peppers may be frozen, but crispness will be lost.
