Red, yellow, and green bell peppers are vibrant, versatile vegetables that bring flavor and color to a variety of dishes. Native to Central and South America, these sweet peppers are widely used in cuisines worldwide, including Mexican, Mediterranean, and Asian cooking. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, they are an excellent source of vitamin C, offering multiple times the daily recommended intake in just a cup. They also provide vitamin A, potassium, and fiber, while being low in calories and free of fat and cholesterol. The color difference reflects ripeness—green is slightly bitter and less sweet, while yellow and red are riper and sweeter. Bell peppers can be eaten raw, roasted, grilled, or stuffed, making them a fantastic addition to salads, stir-fries, or as a snack. Their nutrient content supports immunity, healthy skin, and eye health. However, individuals with sensitive stomachs might find them harder to digest when eaten raw.
