Nutrition:
Peppers
are
excellent sources of vitamin C and vitamin A
(through its concentration of carotenoids such as
beta-carotene) and two very powerful antioxidants.
These antioxidants work together to effectively
neutralize free radicals, which can travel through
the body causing huge amounts of damage to cells.
Taste:
Bell
peppers
have
a wonderful combination of tangy taste and crunchy
texture.
Uses:
Sweet
peppers
can be eaten raw in salads or cooked added to stew,
soups, stir fries as well as other dishes.
Substitutions:
Other
peppers
or possibly a mild onion can be used to substitute.
Storage:
Sweet
peppers
stored in the vegetable compartment of the
refrigerator will keep for up to one week. Sweet
peppers can be frozen without first being
blanched. It is better to freeze them whole since
there will be less exposure to air which can
degrade both their nutrient content and flavor.
