Tomatoes and peppers are vibrant, versatile vegetables that add color and flavor to dishes worldwide. Tomatoes, originating from Central and South America, are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, potassium, and lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to heart health and reduced cancer risk. They are low in calories and high in water content, making them ideal for hydration and weight management. Peppers, ranging from sweet to spicy varieties, are packed with vitamin C, B6, and antioxidants like capsaicin, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties. Popular in cuisines such as Mediterranean, Mexican, and Asian, these vegetables can be eaten raw, roasted, or added to sauces, salads, and stir-fries. Both are naturally healthy but can become less so when prepared with excessive oils or creamy sauces. Incorporating tomatoes and peppers into meals is a delicious way to enhance both flavor and nutrition.
