The large green pepper, also called a bell pepper, is a crisp, flavorful vegetable native to Central and South America. Part of the nightshade family, it’s a versatile ingredient used in a variety of cuisines, from Mexican and Italian to Asian dishes. Known for its mild, slightly sweet taste and satisfying crunch, the green pepper is a nutrient-rich, low-calorie food. It’s an excellent source of vitamin C, providing over 100% of the daily recommended intake in a single serving, and contains vitamins A, K, and several B vitamins. It’s also rich in antioxidants, which support immune and cellular health. With its high water and fiber content, green peppers promote hydration and digestion. While naturally low in fat and sugar, preparing them with heavy oils, creamy fillings, or frying methods could reduce their health appeal, so lighter preparations are preferred for maximum benefits.
