Green peppers and onions are popular vegetables commonly paired in dishes across various cuisines, including Mexican, Italian, and Asian. Green peppers, the unripe form of bell peppers, are crisp and slightly bitter, while onions offer a sweet, tangy flavor that deepens when cooked. Both are rich in essential nutrients: green peppers provide vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fiber, while onions contain antioxidants, vitamin C, and compounds that can support immune and heart health. Low in calories and fat, this combination is ideal for healthy eating. However, their preparation can affect nutrition; frying in excess oil or heavily salting may reduce their health benefits. Versatile and nutritious, green peppers and onions are often stir-fried, grilled, or sautéed to enhance their natural flavors, serving as a flavorful base or side to countless dishes. Their complementary taste and healthful properties make them a staple in balanced diets worldwide.
