About Bell pepper

Bell peppers, also known as sweet peppers, are vibrant, versatile fruits that come in a variety of colors, including green, red, yellow, and orange. Native to Central and South America, they are widely used in global cuisines, from stir-fries and salads to roasted dishes and salsas. Rich in vitamins, bell peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C, which supports immune health, and vitamin A, which promotes good vision. They also contain dietary fiber, antioxidants like carotenoids, and are low in calories and fat, making them a nutrient-dense choice for healthy eating. Their natural sweetness intensifies as they ripen, with red peppers being the sweetest and most nutrient-packed of all. Bell peppers are free of cholesterol and help in improving digestion, but some individuals may experience mild bloating when consumed raw. A staple in many diets, bell peppers add both flavor and nutrition to meals.
