About Peppers, sweet, green, raw
Green bell peppers are sweet peppers picked before they fully ripen, which gives them a crisp bite and a slightly more bitter, grassy edge than their red, yellow and orange counterparts. That sturdiness makes them a favorite for stir-fries, fajitas and stuffing.
They're very low in calories and high in vitamin C, with vitamin B6, folate, fiber and a range of antioxidants. Because they're harvested earlier, they carry less vitamin A and a touch less sweetness and vitamin C than fully ripened red peppers — but they're a nutritious, refreshing vegetable all the same.
Crunchy and mild, green peppers add bulk, color and crunch to a meal for almost no calories — and they tend to be the cheapest of the bunch.
