Sweet Peppers are also known as bell peppers or capsicum. Though they are fruits (botanically classified as berries), they are commonly used as a vegetable ingredient or as a side dish.
These are great for eye health by being rich in carotenoids. Again, due to the presence of antioxidants, sweet peppers or bell peppers or capsicum prevent from many cancers. VitaminC content of these peppers helps boosting the immunity of our body.
Peppers help balancing our mood, help in good night sleep, support weight loss, improve skin quality, possesses anti-inflammatory properties, and are heart healthy.
An important point, though all sweet peppers are very nutritious but these red sweet peppers contain 1.5 times more vitamin C, 8 times more vitamin A and 11 times more beta carotene than green bell peppers.
Yellow bell peppers have more vitamin C than green ones, but less vitamin A and beta carotene.
