Red bell peppers, native to Central and South America, are vibrant, sweet, and versatile vegetables prized in global cuisine. Rich in flavor and nutrients, they serve as a key ingredient in countless dishes, from Mediterranean salads to stir-fries and roasted delicacies. These peppers are an excellent source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C, providing over 150% of the daily recommended intake in a single pepper. They're also high in vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants like beta-carotene, supporting immune health, skin vitality, and heart health. Red bell peppers are fat-free, low in calories, and contain dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting a healthy weight. Unlike their spicier relatives, they contain no capsaicin, making them mild and suitable for all palates. Their natural sugars lend a subtly sweet flavor, perfect for raw snacking or cooking. However, moderation is advised in high-sodium recipes to maintain their healthful benefits.
