‘Hot Pepper Challenge’ sheds light on communities’ needs for fresh produce

Capitol Roots called upon 10 people to take the "Hot Pepper Challenge."

The way it works is there’s a basket full of peppers ranging from the hottest habanero, to jalapeño, shishito, banana, and the most mild, bell pepper.

You eat a hot pepper to raise awareness and money for the organization, which works hard to bring fresh produce to neighborhoods that don’t have access to it.
