(Peppers, Italian Green) The Italian sweet green pepper is a variety of
the species Capsicum annuum, like bell peppers and chili peppers. It has the
appearance of a combination of a tapered bell pepper and that of a large chili
pepper, but it has the mild taste of sweet peppers such as the bell pepper.
They are sold in many large supermarkets and in many farm stores. Select only
firm peppers without blemishes. They are great eating raw in salads or cooked.

The
above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):
'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every
tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the
earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that
has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all
that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
