The K-COR has been informed that Yad Ezra is distributing Damka brand red and orange bell peppers from Israel. Please be aware that Terumos and Maaseros must be taken. Details of the tithing procedure can be found (courtesy of cRc Chicago) at: http://www.crcweb.org/kosher_articles/Terumah%20and%20Ma’aser%20Separation%20(Apr%202013)-with%20pictures.pdf

Yad Ezra will post signs that these peppers are from Israel.

Consumers should always carefully check the sticker, bag label or original case of all produce for the country of origin. Israeli produce commonly found in stores includes red, yellow and orange bell peppers, tomatoes on the vine, citrus fruit, persimmons, red pomelos and medjool dates.
