November's Harvest of the Month is Bell Peppers

Hello all!

November's Harvest of the Month is the peppy BELL PEPPER!

 

This month, students and staff will sample “Cowboy Caviar” during their lunchtime taste tests. The bell peppers are locally grown by growers at the Fayetteville Farmers Market.  Did you know that red, yellow and orange bell peppers are actually just ripe green bell peppers? Also, a red bell pepper has twice the amount of vitamin C as a green bell pepper.

 

If students or staff like the recipe it can be found on our Seed to Student Facebook page, our Child Nutrition Department website and in the staff newsletter. The recipe was also sent home to families via PeachJar.
