I discovered peppers are a local produce among the Amalfi coast. I saw them constantly hanging outside local restaurants and food shops; merchants even sold all types of coral jewelry shaped as peppers. Small red, yellow and orangey little peppers appeared to be everywhere along the shops in this Mediterranean coast. However, I had trouble finding pepper dishes in menus; it was mostly a decorative thing along the Amalfi coast styling t-shirts, jewelry, ceramics, and other touristy souvenirs. Later on I found out red pepper harvest takes place during the summer, where they are picked up to spice up local dishes or dried for a year-long use.
