We took the time to weigh all the perfectly good pepper that normally gets chopped off and we discovered that 20% of a whole pepper gets thrown away 9 times out of 10. Criminal.
Their firm, crunchy consistency with a delicate sweet flavour is what makes the pepper an extremely sought after vegetable in cooking. If you make sure to eat all of your pepper (letting none of it go to waste) it means that you’ll have to buy less peppers per dish, saving you cash on your food shop. The wasted bits of pepper are perfectly good to eat, so all you need to do is break the final corners of the pepper off the stalk and then chop them up with the rest.
