How to choose the perfect bell peppers for Stuffed Peppers

When we don't have a lot of time or money, this Keto Taco Stuffed Peppers recipe is on the menu. If you've ever made peppers then you know how important it is to choose the perfect bell peppers for your meal. They must be bright green, round, and not deformed in anyway. Be sure there's aren't soft spots because those will leak while baking. The male peppers have 3 bumps on the bottom and are great for cooking – so that's typically what we choose for our Mexican stuffed peppers recipe. However, the females, which have 4 bumps, are sweeter! If you want to ensure you're getting peppers that are fresh and locally grown – just look for the Fresh From Florida label!
