red peppers

Red, orange, and yellow bell peppers are packed with great health benefits—they're packed with vitamins and low in calories! They're an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium. Bell peppers also contain a healthy dose of fiber, folate, and iron.

In addition to their abundance of nutrients, bell peppers deliver a satisfying and low-calorie crunch with every bite. Try eating these crunchy bell peppers with dips like hummus or salsa instead of high-calorie chips and crackers!

In nature, the color of bell peppers also changes from green to their natural color as they ripen. Just like tomatoes or cucumbers, there are many different varieties of bell peppers. Some varieties change from green to red, others from green to orange, and still others from green to yellow. The most popular colors are red, orange, and yellow, but there are even purple bell peppers out there!
