Fresh bell peppers are vibrant, crisp vegetables belonging to the nightshade family, originally cultivated in Central and South America. Available in a variety of colors like green, red, yellow, and orange, they are celebrated for their mild, sweet flavor and versatility in cuisines worldwide. Bell peppers are naturally low in calories, making them a healthy choice for any diet. They are rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and dietary fiber, which support immunity, vision, heart health, and digestion. Additionally, their antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, help combat oxidative stress and promote overall wellness. Unlike spicy peppers, bell peppers have no capsaicin, making them ideal for those seeking mild flavor. They can be enjoyed raw in salads, roasted, grilled, or stuffed in a variety of dishes from Mediterranean to Latin cuisine. However, adding heavy sauces, oils, or frying may reduce their nutritional benefits.
