Onions and peppers are a versatile vegetable duo found in cuisines worldwide, from Italian pastas to Mexican fajitas and Asian stir-fries. Onions, with their sharp to sweet flavors, are rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which supports heart health and fights inflammation. They also contain vitamins C and B6, as well as fiber. Peppers, ranging from sweet bell peppers to spicy varieties, are a powerhouse of vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants like beta-carotene. Low in calories and high in water content, they promote hydration and support a healthy immune system. Together, onions and peppers make a nutrient-rich, colorful addition to dishes, adding depth of flavor and crunch. While typically healthy, their nutritional benefits can be affected by preparation methods; for instance, frying or adding heavy sauces may increase fat or calorie content. Enjoy them grilled, roasted, or raw to maximize their natural, health-boosting properties.
