Green, red and yellow bell peppers bring colour and crunch to everything from menudo and afritada to lumpia and fresh salads. Known locally as atsal, this cool-climate crop is grown mostly in the Philippine highlands, and FarmyHub connects you straight to the farmers who grow it, so you can find fresh bell pepper from local growers across the country.

Bell peppers are sold by colour, and each has its place in the kitchen:
Green: The most common and the least sweet, picked before full ripeness. Holds its shape in sautéed dishes, so it's the usual choice for menudo, afritada and lumpia.
Red: The same fruit left on the plant to ripen fully. Sweeter, softer and the best of the three for roasting, stuffing or eating raw in salads.
Yellow: Harvested midway through ripening, so it sits between the two in both sweetness and price.
Most listings here are simply labelled bell pepper or atsal without a colour specified, so message the seller if a particular one matters for your dish.
Atsal needs cooler weather than most Philippine vegetables, which is why the bulk of local supply comes from the highlands, Benguet and the Cordillera region above all, along with parts of Bukidnon and Mountain Province.
Lowland and greenhouse growers supply some volume too, but highland harvests are what set availability and price through most of the year.
Firmness and skin condition are the two things worth asking about. A good bell pepper is heavy for its size with tight, glossy skin and no soft patches around the stem.
Ask sellers when the batch was harvested. Bell pepper travels reasonably well but loses crispness quickly once it's past its best.
If you're buying for a restaurant or reselling, check the minimum order and whether the seller can supply consistently rather than one-off. Several growers here handle repeat wholesale orders; others sell smaller retail quantities by the kilo.
FarmyHub is a listing platform, not a supplier or delivery service. Each seller sets their own prices, handles their own stock and arranges their own handover.
Use the chat to talk to them directly, agree on quantity and price, and arrange pickup or delivery between yourselves.
