Capsicums or belle peppers are cultivated world wide. In many cuisines around the world cooks use this as their cooking element. It can be use as a spice to give your food a good taste and it’s also a very good vegetable with so much nutritional benefits.

I use capsicums to garnish my salads sometimes. They are one of my fav vegetables.

Another very nice way of using capsicums is to stuff them using mince meat , boiled rice and some diced vegetables and baking them in the oven.

I bought a heap on special in my favourite fruit and vegetable barn. I used some to top my home made pizza and the rest for this delicious goodness.
