About Peppers, sweet, red, raw
Red bell peppers are simply green peppers left to ripen fully on the plant, which is why they're sweeter, softer and more vivid. Crisp and juicy raw, sweet and silky when roasted, they're one of the most versatile vegetables in the kitchen — and, botanically, a fruit.
Ripening transforms their nutrition along with their color: a red pepper holds far more vitamin C than a green one (more than an orange, in fact) and a big dose of vitamin A from carotenoids, along with vitamin B6, folate and antioxidants. All of it comes for very few calories.
Sweet enough to snack on raw and sturdy enough to roast, stuff or stir-fry, the red bell pepper is a rare vegetable that's as nutritious as it is genuinely enjoyable to eat.
