Yellow capsicum

What is Yellow capsicum?

Yellow bell peppers, sweet, crisp and mild, supplied here by the case (colis) for higher-volume kitchens. Milder and sweeter than green peppers.

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

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, with British glasshouse peppers at their best in summer and imports covering the remainder 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.

The case is economical for steady users; compare price per kilogram against the loose option and choose firm, unwrinkled peppers, which hold well chilled for over a week.
