About Peppers and onions

Peppers and onions are a classic duo often found in a variety of cuisines, including Mediterranean, Mexican, and Asian dishes. Bell peppers, available in green, red, yellow, and orange varieties, are packed with vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber. Onions, rich in vitamin C and phytochemicals, offer anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Together, they create a flavorful, nutrient-rich combination that complements stir-fries, salads, fajitas, and roasted dishes. Low in calories and fat, this pairing suits many dietary needs, supporting heart and digestive health. When sautéed or grilled with minimal oil, they retain their nutritional benefits, though adding excessive fat or sugar-based sauces may reduce their health profile. These colorful vegetables not only enhance meals with vibrant taste and texture but also contribute to overall wellness when incorporated into a balanced diet.
