Green bell peppers, a vibrant and crunchy vegetable, are packed with essential nutrients and versatile in cuisine. Originating from Central and South America, they are now embraced worldwide, featuring prominently in salads, stir-fries, and stuffed pepper recipes. These peppers are loaded with vitamins C and A, which support immune health and vision, as well as antioxidants that help combat free radicals. They are also low in calories and fat, making them ideal for weight-conscious diets. In addition, their fiber content aids digestion and promotes heart health. While nutritious, consuming them raw may cause mild digestive discomfort for some individuals sensitive to nightshade vegetables. Green bell peppers also lack the natural sweetness found in their red, yellow, or orange counterparts due to being harvested before full ripeness. Whether fresh, roasted, or sautéed, green bell peppers offer a nutritious and flavorful boost to any meal.
