Red and green peppers, part of the capsicum family, are vibrant and versatile vegetables widely used in cuisines around the world, particularly in Mexican, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes. Green peppers are less sweet and slightly bitter, while red peppers, ripened versions of green peppers, are sweeter with a richer flavor profile. Both are low in calories, high in water content, and packed with essential nutrients. They're excellent sources of vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants like beta-carotene, which support immune health and skin vitality. Red peppers have higher antioxidant levels than green ones due to their longer ripening process. They also contain fiber, aiding digestion and promoting heart health. While generally a healthy choice, some individuals may experience mild digestive irritation from their natural compounds. Enjoy raw, roasted, grilled, or blended into soups and sauces for a burst of color and nutrition.
