Can I eat roasted peppers from a jar
Hi, Eddytonie. Sure – just be sure to check the label for any artificial additives.
Hi, suryavirmadhav. Either way is fine – each has its advantages. If you get the type in packets, just be sure there aren’t any chemicals added.
should u rather buy packeted vegetables available in telco or is better to get the ones not in the packet . Is it any better or are they the same ?

Why is this not considered a vegetable?
