This launch complements Gold Bell and Morning Kiss Organic’s existing organic bell pepper and vegetable program, giving customers greater flexibility, expanded pricing options, and the convenience of sourcing a complete bell pepper assortment, and a full line of vegetables, from a single trusted supplier.

Delivering More Choice and Value

By adding conventional bell peppers alongside its established organic offerings, Gold Bell and Morning Kiss Organic continue their commitment to meeting diverse customer needs. Whether customers prioritize organic certification, value-driven conventional options, or a combination of both, they can now streamline procurement and maximize efficiency with one comprehensive produce partner.

“Our goal is to make it easier for our customers to access the full range of high-quality vegetables they need,” said Pat Palermo, Gold Bell Procurement and Sales. “By offering both organic and conventional bell peppers, we’re providing more flexibility, more value, and more opportunity for growth in the category.”

A Colorful Boost of Nutrition

Bell Peppers are among the most nutrient-dense vegetables in the produce aisle, delivering both vibrant color and exceptional health benefits:

• High in Vitamin C: Red, orange, and yellow Bell Peppers contain significantly more vitamin C than oranges, supporting immune health and skin vitality.
• Rich in Antioxidants: Bell Peppers are packed with carotenoids and other antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Excellent Source of Vitamin A: Particularly red Bell Peppers, which support eye health and immune function.
• Low in Calories, High in Flavor: Naturally sweet and crisp, peppers offer a healthy, versatile ingredient for fresh snacking, cooking, and meal prep.

Mini Sweet Peppers provide a convenient, snackable option for consumers seeking healthy grab-and-go choices, while Rainbow 3CT packs offer eye-catching merchandising appeal and a vibrant mix of flavors.

With strong retail appeal, versatile packaging formats, and proven consumer demand, the expanded bell pepper program is designed to drive category growth and simplify sourcing.
