Bell peppers and onions are a vibrant, flavorful combination commonly used in a variety of cuisines, including Mexican, Italian, and Asian dishes. Bell peppers, available in colors such as red, yellow, green, and orange, are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants like beta-carotene. Onions add depth with their savory flavor and contain compounds like sulfur and quercetin, known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Both vegetables are low in calories and high in fiber, making them excellent for digestion and weight management. This duo is versatile, often sautéed, grilled, or roasted to enhance dishes like fajitas, pasta, or stir-frys. While naturally healthy, preparation methods using excessive oil or sauces can add extra calories, so opting for lighter cooking methods can preserve their health benefits. Bell peppers and onions bring color, nutrition, and bold flavor to any meal.
