Mix 3 Color Fresh Frozen Sliced Pepper
Mix 3 Color Fresh Frozen Sliced Pepper (also called IQF Mixed Bell Pepper Strips) is a convenient, ready-to-use vegetable ingredient made from fresh red, yellow, and green bell peppers.
Mix 3 Color Fresh Frozen Sliced Pepper is produced from carefully selected, fully mature bell peppers harvested at peak freshness.
