Fresh peppers are vibrant, crunchy vegetables found in a variety of colors, including green, red, yellow, and orange. Native to Central and South America, peppers are a staple in cuisines worldwide, from spicy Mexican dishes to savory Mediterranean recipes. They are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, which supports immunity, and beta-carotene, which promotes eye health. Peppers are also low in calories and fat, making them a great choice for weight management. Their high fiber content aids digestion, while antioxidants combat cell damage and inflammation. Sweet bell peppers are mild, while chili peppers contain capsaicin, which adds heat and may boost metabolism. Some varieties can be spicy, so individuals sensitive to heat may need caution. Whether eaten raw, roasted, or sautéed, fresh peppers are a nutritious and versatile addition to meals, offering flavor and health benefits in every bite.
