Green peppers, also known as bell peppers, are crisp, vibrant vegetables native to Central and South America. They belong to the capsicum family but are harvested before fully ripening, hence their green hue. Packed with nutrients, green peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C, providing nearly double the daily recommended intake per serving. They also offer vitamin A, vitamin K, potassium, and dietary fiber, making them beneficial for immunity, bone health, and digestion. Low in calories and fat, green peppers are ideal for weight management. They feature prominently in a variety of cuisines, from Mexican to Mediterranean, adding a mild, slightly bitter flavor. While healthy, those sensitive to nightshade vegetables may need to monitor intake. Versatile in cooking, green peppers can be eaten raw, roasted, stuffed, or sautéed, and are a delicious way to enhance nutrition in everyday meals.
