At times, we do crave something but want it to be healthy. But not every time, we get such things to eat. With no option left, we end up having junk food which is obviously available near every nook of the city and compromise with our health. But you know, we really do not have to do this as we do have some ingredients in our kitchen.
One such ingredient that can transform into healthy as well as delicious dishes is bell pepper or capsicum. Capsicums are also known as bell peppers in America or just peppers in the UK. In the intermediate stage of ripening, capsicums are yellow or orange and are significantly sweeter than the green version. When fully ripe, capsicums are red and are at their peak when it comes to vitamins and antioxidant content.
Talking about the health benefits, bell peppers are low in calories and high in nutrients including several vitamins. Did you know that a cup of chopped green bell pepper contains around 120 mg of vitamin C? Vitamin C is great in preventing a lot of health problems like heart disease and even cancer. Moreover, it also helps in controlling blood pressure and improves the digestive system. With so many health benefits, bell pepper can be a perfect ingredient when you crave something healthy.
