Red Bell Peppers

Red bell peppers are most commonly seen in the vegetable produce section. Red peppers are widely available across the United States and may be found at supermarkets and farmers' markets. They're a great addition to a number of recipes because of their bright, sweet flavor.

They're also a good source of A and C vitamins. A half-cup of raw red pepper has 47% of your daily necessary vitamin A intake and 159% of your daily recommended vitamin C intake. Red peppers are high in vitamin A and beta-carotene, which are beneficial to your general vision and eye health. Vitamin A also aids in the maintenance of skin cells, the healing of wounds, and the formation of white blood cells. Several vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant substances are rich in red peppers. Red bell pepper is also the only Capsicum cultivar with little to no capsaicin, the ingredient that gives it its spiciness.
