What You Should Know

Mediterranean Organic Fire Roasted Red Peppers are a pantry-friendly jar of sun‑kissed, smoky-sweet peppers imported from Turkey and positioned as a premium, organic convenience product. You’d typically find this 16 oz glass jar in the canned/jarred vegetables or Mediterranean specialty aisle, shelved near olives, artichoke hearts, roasted vegetables, antipasti, and gourmet condiments. Shoppers reach for it on weeknight grocery runs for quick dinners, at weekend brunch for colorful spreads, or when assembling antipasti platters for guests. The brand leans into Mediterranean lifestyle cues — simple, artisanal, and health‑forward — targeting consumers who want authentic flavors without sacrificing organic certification: labels tout USDA Organic, Non‑GMO Project Verified, and “No artificial flavors, dyes, or preservatives.” The ingredient list is short (roasted whole peppers, water, sea salt, organic grapemust, citric acid), creating a natural/wholesome halo while also signaling some preservation steps. Processing context, in plain terms: the peppers are fire‑roasted, peeled, and packed in brine and likely pasteurized for shelf stability — prepared, not raw. Sensory details: glossy, deep‑red strips with a tender, slightly silky texture and a rounded smoky sweetness; a faint acidity brightens the jarred liquid. Packaging is a screw‑top glass jar with drained weight (Dr. Wt. 12 oz / 340 g) that makes the peppers easy to spoon onto sandwiches, salads, pizzas, or antipasti platters. The ritual is casual and social — quick assembly, shared plates, and an easy way to add Mediterranean color and flavor to everyday meals.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a processed culinary product: whole vegetables that have been roasted, peeled, preserved in brine with added sweetener (grapemust) and citric acid, then jarred—so it fits NOVA group 3 (processed foods).
