Peppers

Over the weekend at KPK, we inspected, washed, dried, cored, seeded, cut and sauteed over 60 lbs. of colorful sweet bell peppers on the grill. We love peppers : ). They're naturally sweet and just so delicious. Include them in your diet and eat as much colorful food as you possibly can. At KPK, we love to color your world with nature's beauty. The scoop:

COLORFUL FOOD is so important

for you. Did you know that red fruits and

vegetables like red peppers, tomatoes, beets

and cherries contain lycopene or

“anthocyanins” that may help reduce the risk

of several types of cancer? These powerful

antioxidants that help protect cells from

damage are also linked with keeping our

hearts healthy.

Orange/yellow fruits and vegetables are

usually colored by “carotenoids”. These foods

are reported to help reduce the risk of cancer

and heart disease and can help improve

immune system function.

Eat your GREENS and get “chlorophyll”. Some

greens like green peppers, spinach, peas and

cucumbers contain lutein. Lutein works with

“zeaxanthin” found in red peppers, corn,

grapes and egg yolks to keep your eyes

healthy. Together, these chemicals may help

reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related

macular degeneration which can lead to

blindness if untreated.

At “KPK At The Market”, we love presenting

vibrant, inspired and naturally beautiful food

on the main stage. We appreciate locally

grown produce and combine few quality

ingredients and simple methods to highlight

the vegetables and feed you the rainbow.

Enjoy something beautiful to eat every day. Even if it's something as simple as a perfect cherry or a sweet ear of corn.

 We look forward to preparing something 

colorful and delicious just for you on our next day out

 at the Frankfort Country Market:
