About Green Pepper
A common everyday vegetable with low calories.
Health Benefits of Green Pepper
Outstanding vitamin C
Green pepper has ~72mg vitamin C per 100g, well beyond citrus - one of the veggie kings of vitamin C. C supports normal immune function and collagen synthesis. Stir-fry over high heat briefly to preserve more of it.
Low calorie, high water
Only 22 kcal per 100g and about 93% water, crisp and refreshing. As a supporting vegetable it boosts flavour and colour with no meaningful calorie cost. Eating plenty of it during fat loss adds satiety.
Colours differ in nutrition
Green is the unripe fruit; red and yellow are fully ripe varieties. Red peppers carry more beta-carotene and vitamin C than green, at similar calories. Mixing colours in cooking rounds out nutrition.
