Question: Are red or green bell peppers more nutritious?
Answer: First of all, both red and green bell peppers are very good for you! All varieties of bell peppers are low in calories and high in vitamin C and disease fighting antioxidants. However, in a nutritional face off between the two, red bell peppers are the clear winner! Red bell peppers contain about 1.5 times more vitamin C and about 8 times more vitamin A! Red bell peppers also contain the pigment lycopene which may help to prevent certain cancers and the pigment lutein which may help to prevent macular degeneration and cataracts.
