Health Benefits of Bell Peppers

The first produce item I would like to explore are bell peppers. Also called, sweet peppers or capsicums, bell peppers come in various colors such as red, yellow, orange, and green which is unripe and can have more of a bitter taste. Bell peppers are high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants which reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids found in relatively high amounts in bell peppers may improve eye health. Bell peppers are also high in iron which help in improving eye health and reducing the risk of anemia.
