Letting them turn red on the plant really does sweeten them. I found
that drought conditions make them hotter so water them plenty!

I bought some nice ones at the store yesterday for the cockatoo. They
are a good source of vitamin C. I'm leaving them at room temp in my
Onion basket to turn red before feeding them to her.
