Description
Nutritional & Health Benefits: Peppers are low in calories and rich in nutrients, particularly vitamin C (even more than oranges in some varieties), vitamin A, vitamin B6, and folate. They are also a source of antioxidants such as capsaicin (in hot varieties), which may have anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties. Their high water and fiber content support hydration and digestive health.
Culinary Uses: Peppers are extremely versatile in the kitchen. Sweet peppers (like red, yellow, and green bell peppers) can be eaten raw in salads, grilled, roasted, stuffed, or added to stews and sauces. Hot peppers add spice and depth to salsas, marinades, curries, and stir-fries. They can be dried, pickled, or ground into powders for long-term use.
Storage: Fresh peppers should be stored unwashed in the refrigerator, ideally in a perforated bag to maintain freshness. They last about 1 week. Cooked or roasted peppers can be stored in an airtight container for several days. Dried or powdered peppers should be kept in a cool, dark, and dry place.
