Pick A Pepper

. Monday, May 12, 2008

Bell peppers come in a rainbow of rich colors and, while there’s no such thing as an unhealthy choice, some are nutrition standouts. Red peppers pack the most powerful antioxidant punch, but yellow and orange peppers are close behind. Yellow peppers are also the vitamin C champs: Just one delivers 340mg of vitamin – more C than you’d get in three 8 – ounce glasses of orange juice. Green peppers, which haven’t matured to their final color, also haven’t developed their full array of nutrients. Still eating one will ensure that you meet your 60mg vitamin C quota for the day.

I do love to eat yellow peppers as they are sweet... I didn't know they are better than green ones in terms of nutrients! ;D
