About Bell Pepper
Bell peppers — especially red ones — are one of the richest sources of vitamin C in the produce aisle, outpacing oranges by a wide margin. A single medium red bell pepper provides 169% of your daily vitamin C. They are also an excellent source of vitamin A and B6. The color differences (green → yellow → red) represent ripening stages, with red peppers having the highest nutrient content.
