Capsicum, commonly known as bell pepper, is a vibrant and versatile vegetable native to Central and South America, now a staple in cuisines worldwide. Available in a range of colors—green, red, yellow, and orange—capsicums are rich in vitamins A and C, powerful antioxidants that support immune health and skin vitality. They also contain dietary fiber, potassium, and small amounts of folate and vitamin B6. Capsicums are low in calories, making them a healthy choice for weight-conscious diets. Their mild, crisp sweetness enhances salads, stir-fries, and roasted dishes, with red capsicums being the sweetest and most nutrient-dense. Capsicums have no unhealthy aspects when consumed fresh, but watch for added fats or sodium in recipes like stuffed peppers. Whether raw or cooked, they are a vibrant addition to a balanced diet.
