Colored peppers, also known as bell peppers, are vibrant vegetables enjoyed worldwide for their sweet flavor, crisp texture, and nutritional benefits. Native to Central and South America, they play a prominent role in many cuisines, including Mexican, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes. Available in green, yellow, orange, and red varieties, these colors indicate ripeness stages, with red peppers being the sweetest and most nutrient-packed. Rich in vitamins A and C, colored peppers support immune health, skin vitality, and eye health. They are also a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion, and contain antioxidants like beta-carotene. Low in calories and fat, they are ideal for those seeking nutritious, weight-friendly foods. While generally healthy, their high water content means overripe peppers can lose texture and nutrients. Versatile and vibrant, colored peppers are a wholesome addition to raw salads, stir-fries, and roasted dishes.
