The season for peppers is from May to September.
Peppers are divided into two types, sweet peppers and hot peppers. Crete's most famous varieties of sweet pepper are the "bottled" peppers (green, yellow, red, yellow, orange), the dolma pepper (light green) and the horn pepper.
The pepper contains a much more considerable amount of vitamin C than the orange. Hot peppers are especially known for their healing properties.
