Chopped peppers and onions are a versatile mix of vegetables commonly used in various cuisines around the world, from Mexican to Mediterranean and Asian dishes. This colorful combination typically includes fresh bell peppers—red, green, yellow, or orange—for vibrant flavor and sweetness, and onions for their sharp, savory profile. Packed with vitamins and nutrients, bell peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, while onions provide vitamin B6, manganese, and compounds like quercetin that support overall health. Low in calories and free of fat, this duo is a great choice for adding texture, nutrients, and flavor to meals without compromising on health. However, preparation methods like sautéing in excessive oil or using them in processed dishes can reduce their nutritional value. Simple cooking methods like roasting, grilling, or lightly stir-frying can preserve their beneficial properties while enhancing their natural taste.
