About Squash and bell peppers

Squash and bell peppers are vibrant, nutrient-packed vegetables that lend versatility to numerous cuisines worldwide. Squash, often cultivated in North America, includes varieties like zucchini and butternut, offering a rich source of fiber, vitamins A, C, and potassium. Bell peppers, native to Central and South America, come in a spectrum of colors—red, yellow, green, and orange—and are abundant in Vitamin C, antioxidants, and beta-carotene. Low in calories and free of fat, they’re ideal for heart-healthy diets and weight management. Both vegetables are staples in Mediterranean, Latin American, and Asian dishes and can be roasted, sautéed, or grilled. While their natural sugars may caramelize when cooked, they remain a guilt-free choice for most diets. When preparing these veggies, opt for minimal oil and seasoning to maximize their nutritional benefits. Together, squash and bell peppers brighten meals with their vivid hues and wholesome goodness.
