Stuffed peppers are a flavorful dish originating from Mediterranean and Eastern European cuisines, now popular worldwide. Typically, bell peppers are hollowed out and filled with a savory mixture of ingredients such as ground meat, rice, beans, tomatoes, and herbs, then baked to perfection. The recipe can be adapted to suit various dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan options. Bell peppers themselves are low in calories and packed with vitamins C and A, providing antioxidants that support skin health, immune function, and vision. When filled with lean protein and whole grains, stuffed peppers become a nutrient-dense meal rich in fiber and essential minerals. However, recipes that include high-fat cheeses or processed meats may increase saturated fat and calorie levels, so mindful preparation is key. Versatile and customizable, stuffed peppers are both a hearty, balanced dish and a vehicle for nutrient-packed ingredients.
