Yellow capsicum

What is Yellow capsicum?

Yellow bell peppers, sweet and crisp with a mild, fruity flavour, sold here by the kilogram. The yellow colour is sweeter and milder than green peppers.

Used raw in salads and crudites for colour, roasted and peeled for antipasti and sauces, sliced into stir-fries and fajitas, or stuffed and baked.

Why the number moves

UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on yellow capsicum can shift week to week.

Across the year the trend has been up (down about 28% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

Mostly imported; British glasshouse supply peaks in summer, with imports filling the rest of the year.

Per case or per kilo?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Buy by the kilogram and choose firm, glossy peppers heavy for their size with no wrinkling; they keep well chilled for over a week, so they are forgiving to hold.
