The long green pepper, a staple in various global cuisines, boasts a mild-to-moderate heat level and is prized for its crisp texture and earthy flavor. Originating from Central and South America, it is now widely cultivated and featured in dishes ranging from stir-fries to salsas. This vibrant vegetable is low in calories and rich in nutrients, offering a generous dose of vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants, which contribute to immune health and skin vitality while fighting free radicals. Long green peppers also contain dietary fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting heart health. Additionally, they deliver small amounts of potassium and folate, supporting muscle function and cellular activity. However, due to their natural spiciness, sensitive individuals may experience mild discomfort if consumed in excess. Whether grilled, stuffed, or eaten raw, the long green pepper is both a nutritious and versatile addition to any meal.
