Trader Joe’s Fire Roasted Red Peppers are sweet red peppers roasted over fire. They’re grown in Peru, where the strength of the sun’s rays aid in the peppers’ brilliant red hue. Red peppers are actually the fully ripened version of other types of sweet and hot peppers that develop green at first. This mature pepper has more nutrients than green peppers (nine times the amount of carotene!), and because of their color, they contain the antioxidant lycopene.

Knowing all the virtues of these fiery field treasures, you’re probably itching to add them to your next pizza, sandwich, salad, or skewer. We don’t blame you – sounds like a good idea to us, too. Especially if you pair them with chunks of Marinated Fresh Mozzarella Cheese – yum.
