Peppers

Originally cultivated by the ancient Aztec Indians, peppers now grow all over the globe and are a main ingredient in many cuisines. They come in hundreds of varieties, different sizes, shapes, colors and heat levels. This online class explores their fascinating past, many uses and the source of all the heat. Even more intriguing are the variety of choices you have when growing peppers. Discover differences in varieties as well as how to harvest, store and use them in your favorite recipes. Although peppers are native to tropical climates they can grow essentially anywhere and are at home in almost every garden. Peppers are beautiful in the landscape, fun to grow and are a great source of nutrition in our health-conscious society.
