Firm, crunchy, and packed with fresh scents of cooling rain. As the saying goes “cool as a cucumber”, this is exactly what the experience is when eating a fresh, cool cucumber from Divine Flavor. Their refreshing taste is exactly why we love producing these items during the summer. Cucumbers compliment so many dishes and drinks from salads, to cucumber lemonades, to eating raw with a tad of Tajin spices sprinkled on top.

It comes to no surprise why Roma tomatoes are commonly used for making the best sauces and salsas. Their thick-walled and meaty centers are produced with excellence which give them the perfect combination of texture and flavor. These are not considered slicing tomatoes, but instead, they are used to cook down into very rich and tasty sauces. Because of their thicker egg-shaped body, Roma tomatoes hold their consistency very well making this variety very easy and delicious to work with. There are many well-known health benefits to eating tomatoes as it supports heart health because of the rich amount of potassium. Lately, studies are showing a link between tomatoes and cancer protection due to the natural compounds contained in the fruit.

Green bell peppers are a popular item of the Divine Flavor product list. Not only are they one of our first items offered at the company, but they are an item we have an expertise in growing. Green Bell Peppers are raw, unripe peppers. They have a slightly more bitter taste than colored bell peppers, but they are still delicious in their own way giving a fresh and slightly spiced flavor. Green bell peppers, although often thought as a vegetable, are actually considered a fruit. These peppers contain a variety of vitamins and nutrients which are essential for a healthy diet. One large pepper contains more than 150% of your daily value of vitamin C. As we all know, vitamin C is a powerful nutrient which supports a strong immune system and the ability of the body to heal itself.
