Review of Augason Farms dehydrated red and green bell peppers

Reviewing the nutritional value and taste of these dehydrated ingredients, find out if it’s right for your food storage needs

These bell peppers really are awesome. Incidentally, they are very high in vitamin C, as the label has been updated. And judging by the smell and flavor, most of the nutrition is still intact. Dried bell peppers typically retain about 80% of the vitamins of fresh, and these appear to have been treated very gently, so I'm willing to bet that they're almost the same as fresh peppers.

That’s excellent to know!! Thank you so much for sharing

@@RagnarokReady yes sir! Most of the dehydrated veg is briefly heated just hot enough to deactivate the enzymes, about 135ºF, but not hot enough to destroy the vitamin C.

Are all the cans only halfway full

[@RagnarokReady]

Depends on the contents, some are totally full like freeze dried broccoli. Others half way full or part way full like these bell peppers, however they still contain a lot of servings. So far I’ve been using one can of bell peppers for months and still have many months left, as 1 tablespoon is considered a serving and is a lot of bell peppers
