Fresh peppers are vibrant, flavorful vegetables commonly found in cuisines around the world, including Mexican, Mediterranean, and Asian. Available in a variety of colors and types—such as bell peppers, jalapeños, and cayenne—they range from sweet and mild to fiery and hot. Packed with essential nutrients, fresh peppers are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, which support immunity and skin health. They also provide dietary fiber for digestive health and contain antioxidants like capsaicin, known for its metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Low in calories and virtually fat-free, peppers are a smart addition to a balanced diet. However, individuals sensitive to spicy foods should enjoy hot varieties like chili peppers in moderation. Whether eaten raw in salads, roasted, or added to savory dishes, fresh peppers offer both nutritional benefits and bold flavors that elevate meals.
