Picking produce is a talent that any home cook could benefit from. The perfect onion or the wrong dried out clove of garlic can either help or hurt the taste of any meal you are trying to create!
I am often in a rush, zipping through the produce department grabbing whatever I need as fast as I can to make it to school on time to pick up my little ones, so I know what can happen when you don’t take the time to pick the perfect red pepper or the greenest most scented batch of cilantro out of the pile.
An obvious problem you will run into is getting that vegetable home, putting in your fridge only to find that a few hours or days later that the skin has puckered or the leafy green bushel has already begun to yellow or worse turn to mush.
Sometimes the problem is unseen.
Take the jalapeno! I buy them every week. I dice them small and add them to dressings, to quinoa salads, to brown rice with cilantro and feta, any place that can benefit from a nice jolt of spice.
What’s great about the jalapeno is the flavor of it’s heat, it has a fresh sort of citrusy component that is all its own.
The problem is, if you don’t know these five tips to buying the perfect pepper there is a chance the one you pick will have very little of the delicious heat I’m talking about!
