Bell Peppers.......


The highest amount of Vitamin C in a bell pepper is concentrated in the red variety. Red bell peppers contain several phytochemicals and carotenoids, particularly beta-carotene, which lavish you with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. The capsaicin in bell peppers has multiple health benefits.

If you're only using half of a bell pepper for a recipe, make the other half last longer with a simple trick. When you're slicing the pepper, make sure to leave the seeds and membrane intact on one side. Then store this side in a sealed plastic bag or container in the fridge. Leaving the seeds intact will make the pepper last longer.
