About Red pepper and onions

Red peppers and onions are a flavorful and nutrient-rich combination often featured in a variety of cuisines, including Mediterranean, Mexican, and Asian dishes. Red peppers are a powerhouse of vitamins like A, C, and B6, along with antioxidants such as lycopene, contributing to immune support, skin health, and reduced inflammation. Onions bring their own nutritional benefits, including compounds like quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory properties, and are a good source of vitamin C and fiber. Together, they are low in calories, making them a healthy addition to meals. Typically sautéed, roasted, or grilled, this versatile pairing adds natural sweetness and depth to dishes. While inherently healthy, preparation methods involving excessive oil or added sugars can impact their nutritional value. When cooked minimally and paired with wholesome ingredients, red peppers and onions can elevate both the flavor and healthfulness of any dish.
