The Year of the Sweet Pepper

Article Provided

The National Garden Bureau chose 2015 as the year of the sweet pepper. If I had known this earlier the Extension Homemakers, who organize the food contests in the Home and Family Arts department at the Elkhart County 4-H Fair, would have had a special contest in the building. There are contests this year for blueberries, dairy foods, zucchini, grilling and baking. The opportunity is too good to pass up, so we nave added the sweet pepper contest on July 25.

The sweet pepper is a nutritional powerhouse. A serving of the most popular type in the USA, the sweet pepper, is packed with vitamin C, superior even to citrus, contains as much vitamin A as carrots, a generous amount of vitamin E and many antioxidants with only 29 calories. Peppers have high nutrient levels at any stage but are the most beneficial when eaten fully ripe. So you may ask what makes a sweet pepper. Here is the science behind the answer: sweet bell peppers are a cultivar of Capsicum annuum. Non-pungent banana peppers,

sweet jalapenos and sweet cherries are also members of Capsicum annuum. Currently capsicum includes at least 25 species, four of which are domesticated. Sweet peppers are called sweet because they do not produce capsaicin-a chemical that causes a "burning" sensation when hot peppers are consumed. Sweet peppers lack capsaicin due to a recessive form of a gene that eliminates capsaicin and, consequently, the "hot" taste usually associated with the rest of the capsicum genus. The most widely available sweet pepper is the bell pepper, named for

its bell-like shape. Thanks to the dedication of scientists that work with varieties of vegetables we now have bell peppers in yellow, orange, red, purple and of course green. Most of the colored peppers are sweeter than the green and have a milder flavor. The package of small multi-col-ored sweet peppers have unlimited food preparation possibilities plus they are wonderful to just snack on right out of the bag. When selecting peppers, choose peppers that are shiny, firm and feel heavy

for their size; they will have thick meaty walls. Avoid any peppers with soft spots or shriveled areas. Peppers will keep at their best if stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Contest details can be found on the Purdue Extension Elkhart County website at www.extension.purdue. edu/elkhart. Special contest rules and regulations are available in our Open Class booklet, also downloadable on our website. Inquiries can be directed to the office by calling 574-533-0554.
