Red peppers, also known as red bell peppers, are vibrant, sweet vegetables that belong to the Capsicum annuum species. Native to Central and South America, they are a staple in global cuisines, including Mediterranean, Mexican, and Asian dishes. Rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, and antioxidants, red peppers help boost immunity and support healthy skin and eyesight. They are low in calories and high in dietary fiber, making them a great choice for weight management and digestive health. Additionally, they contain vitamin B6 and folate, which promote brain function and cell repair. Red peppers can be eaten raw in salads or cooked in stir-fries, soups, and roasted dishes. While healthy overall, those sensitive to nightshade vegetables should consume with caution. Their natural sweetness and nutrient-packed profile make red peppers a flavorful and nutritious addition to any balanced diet.
