Green bell peppers are vibrant, crisp vegetables originating from Central and South America, now a staple in global cuisines. These peppers belong to the Capsicum annuum family and are harvested before reaching full ripeness, giving them their distinct green color and slightly bitter flavor. Rich in water content, green bell peppers are low in calories, fat-free, and provide an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K. They are also packed with antioxidants like beta-carotene, helping to boost immune health and combat oxidative stress. High in dietary fiber, they support digestion and overall gut health. Green peppers are versatile in cooking, commonly featured in salads, stir-fries, stuffed dishes, or as crisp snacks. While they contain lower levels of natural sugars compared to their ripe red or yellow counterparts, they remain a nutritious addition to a balanced diet, promoting heart health and supporting a healthy weight management plan.
