Thankfully bell peppers are pretty forgiving and it is pretty easy to pick the right ones. Here are a few things to keep a lookout for when shopping for bell peppers.  Look for peppers that have bright colors with firm skin. If you notice it’s wrinkled, then it’s started to go bad and won’t last as long once you get it home.  Choose peppers that are free of any bruising or soft spots. They are indicators that they have been damaged.  The stem of the pepper should appear to be fresh and green.
