The medium bell pepper, a vibrant and versatile vegetable, is a staple in cuisines worldwide, from Mediterranean to Latin American dishes. Native to Central and South America, this sweet pepper comes in an array of colors—green, red, yellow, and orange—indicating ripeness and flavor intensity. Packed with nutrients, a medium bell pepper contains approximately 30-40 calories, is fat-free, and is a rich source of vitamins C, A, and B6, along with fiber and antioxidants like carotenoids. These compounds support immune health, skin vitality, and reduce inflammation. Bell peppers are hydrating, as they are about 92% water, and their natural sweetness makes them a nutritious snack or ingredient in sautés, salads, and stir-fries. Notably, they are low in sodium and cholesterol. While generally healthy, consuming them with heavy dips or frying them can add unwanted fats and calories.
