Onions and peppers are versatile vegetables commonly used in global cuisines, from stir-fries and fajitas to pasta sauces and salads. Onions come in varieties like white, yellow, and red, each offering a slightly different flavor profile ranging from sweet to sharp. They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins B6 and C, and sulfur compounds that support immune health. Peppers, including bell peppers and chili varieties, are packed with vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and fiber. Bell peppers are naturally sweet and low in calories, while spicier chili peppers contain capsaicin, known for boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation. Together, onions and peppers add vibrant flavor, texture, and nutrients to meals, with minimal fat. However, preparation methods like frying or heavy sauces can increase calorie content, so consider roasting, grilling, or steaming to maximize their health benefits. These ingredients not only enhance dishes but also contribute to a balanced diet.
