Green bell peppers are unripe red bell peppers, and as such are not recommended. Fruit should be eaten only when ripe as the acids have been converted to healthy fruit sugar, which is easily assimilated by the body.
One cup of raw red bell pepper provides your daily requirement for vitamins C and A. However, bell peppers are also one of the most common foods on which pesticides are found, so organic peppers are preferred.
Crunchy, sweet, full of water, a ripe bell pepper is a meal in itself.
