Whether they’re red, yellow, or green, bell peppers are a fantastic addition to your daily diet. They’re incredibly rich in vitamin C, other antioxidants, and fiber.
Including bell peppers in your diet may help support your immune system, eye health, and overall wellness. Because bell peppers are part of the nightshade family, however, some people with autoimmune conditions find that they worsen symptoms or inflammation; if that applies to you, consider monitoring your response or speaking with a healthcare professional. Add them to salads, stir-fries, or enjoy them raw with a delicious hummus dip.
