BELL PEPPERS
- Sweet Bell Peppers contains 3 times more Vitamin C than oranges and twice the iron a spinach has.
- Sweet bell peppers can be orange, yellow, red, purple, brown, black, ivory or green, depending on the stage of ripeness and the variety.
- Green bell peppers are fully developed, but not ripe.
- All sweet bell peppers start out green, and change color as they ripen. (They also get sweeter).
CHILI PEPPERS
- The seeds (of the chili peppers) are NOT the hottest part. It is at the point where the seed is attached to the white membrane inside the pepper that the highest concentration of capsaicin (the compound giving peppers their pungent flavor) is found.
- Pepper is a strong spice often used when cooking bland dishes. This spice gives a pungent flavor to almost any food. Adding a little extra pepper instead of salt to your foods can be both a warming and healthy benefit. Pepper is also said to be helpful to those who have asthma.
