About Capsicum

Capsicum, commonly known as bell pepper, is a versatile vegetable originating from Central and South America. Available in vibrant colors like green, red, yellow, and orange, capsicum is packed with essential nutrients. Rich in vitamin C, it boosts immunity and promotes healthy skin. Red varieties are particularly high in beta-carotene, supporting vision and overall cell health. Capsicum also provides dietary fiber for digestive health and a range of antioxidants that combat inflammation and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Low in calories and free from fat or cholesterol, it’s a heart-healthy choice. Capsicum is a staple in global cuisines, enhancing dishes from salads and stir-fries to soups and curries with its sweet, crisp flavor. While raw capsicum retains maximum nutrients, roasting or grilling adds depth and sweetness. With its numerous health benefits, capsicum makes an excellent addition to any balanced diet.
