Edible parts

Fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Pretty N' Sweet' green pepper harvest: Make a pepper sauté to accompany a late-summer meal. Remove the stems and seeds, then cut the flesh into strips of similar thickness. Sauté an onion in a large skillet with a drizzle of oil. Add the peppers in a fairly thin layer so they can brown instead of boiling in their own juices. Stir occasionally, then lower the heat to finish cooking to your desired texture. Add a touch of garlic toward the end of cooking and a splash of cider vinegar before serving. Cooked chickpeas turn this side dish into a plant-based main. The color stage and thickness of the flesh change the cooking results. Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a fleshy pepper retains more bite. Cut the pieces evenly to avoid having pieces that are still firm alongside overcooked ones.
