BENEFITS

Bell peppers are a vibrant and nutritious addition to any meal. Rich in vitamins A and C, they support healthy skin, vision, and immune function. They’re also high in fiber, which aids digestion, and contain antioxidants like beta-carotene, which helps protect against oxidative stress. Whether red, yellow, or green, bell peppers are low in calories and can be enjoyed raw, roasted, or sautéed, adding a sweet crunch and a burst of color to your dishes!
