How much do bell peppers cost?

The cost of red bell peppers varies by location and time of year. In season, (summer through early fall) in an average location, they cost from $.25/each to $1.00/each. Out of season, red bell peppers can run as much as $5 per pound (imported from the Southern Hemisphere, usually), and since a pepper weighs about a half pound, that's $2.50 each.

Organic produce is more in demand these days, so expect to pay a premium for organic peppers of any color, starting at $.50/each in season and going up to $8/lb (or $4/each) out of season (imported).
