Grill bell peppers to perfection! Cut your bell peppers, keeping their round shape intact, and remove the seeds. Brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat until charred and tender. Perfect for adding a smoky flavour to your next dish.

To peel or not to peel, that is the question. The skin of a Cucumber is where most of this superfood’s vitamins & nutrients are stored. High in vitamin K, cucumber skin offers endless benefits. So, keep your peels on!
