In the Netherlands, bell pepper plants grow in a greenhouse. Our growers pamper those plants with water and nutrients. They mimic the perfect climate for the highest possible yield per plant. Each plant produces about 75 bell peppers in an entire season.

The bell pepper plants can grow as tall as four meters. To make sure they don't fall over, growers guide two to four stems of each plant up along a rope. This is attached to an iron wire at the top of the greenhouse. Every fortnight, employees remove the side shoots from the plant and twist the main stem around the rope. This is called topping and twisting in. This keeps the plant growing upwards neatly.

From the greenhouse to your plate goes faster than you think. Every day, employees harvest bell peppers in crates. Two or three times a day, a truck picks them up and takes them to the packaging company. The same day, all bell peppers are given the right packaging and go to the store. Super-fast and therefore super-fresh.

Did you know that the orange bell pepper is the sweetest of all? Perfect to eat as a snack or through a salad. The red bell pepper is also sweet, while the yellow bell pepper is fresher. The green bell pepper has a spicy flavor and is again perfect for hot dishes. Which colour is your favorite?

Three- or four-lobed?
On the shelf, you see bell peppers with three or four lobes (bumps) on the underside. With the three-lobed bell pepper, there has been a different kind of fruit pollination. This one has fewer seeds, making it handy if you don't feel like removing all those seeds. If you want to stuff a bell pepper, it's better to choose a four-lobed bell pepper, as it stays upright well.
