🌶️ Fresh Romano Peppers – Sweet, Crisp & Full of Flavour
Our Fresh Sweet Romano Peppers are long, vibrant red peppers with crisp, juicy flesh and a wonderfully mild, naturally sweet flavour.
Sweeter and more slender than traditional bell peppers, they’re delicious sliced raw into salads and wraps. Cooking transforms them beautifully too — roasting, grilling or barbecuing softens the flesh and develops a richer, sweeter and lightly smoky flavour.
Stuff them with couscous or rice, roast them with Mediterranean herbs, add them to pasta and pizza or simply enjoy them raw for fantastic crunch.
Vibrant colour. Natural sweetness. Wonderfully versatile. 🌶️❤️
