Food & Dairy | | Dutch term or phrase: tweehokkig | Refers to sweet peppers, specifically Flandria peppers, which have to meet all sorts of quality requirements. Huitenga suggests 'bilocular' for tweehokkig but context seems to be botanical. Can't find much evidence for it in connection with peppers.
Milieubewuste teelt, traceerbaarheid, interne en externe controles gaan hand met hand met een aantrekkelijke uiterlijke kwaliteit: een uniforme kleur, een zeer gelijkmatige vorm zonder 'knopen', deuken of 'schapenkoppen' en een pel zonder scheuren. Langwerpige, tweehokkige vruchten zijn uitgesloten. |

| Grading comment I'm afraid your references weren't particularly relevant (flowers rather than peppers), but I did find more evidence of the use of this term in context by searching for bilocular+capsicum, as Chris suggested. Though I think Kate must be using a different Google, as I came up with nothing for bilocular pepper(s) ;-) Thanks, everyone.
