Capsicum

Capsicum is a versatile member of the Capsicum family used across cuisines worldwide, enjoyed raw, roasted, sautéed or pickled for its crisp texture and flavors that range from sweet (bell peppers) to spicy (serrano, padrón). It is very low in calories and provides dietary fiber and a small amount of protein, and is particularly notable for supplying 80mg of vitamin C per 100g. In addition to vitamin C and fiber, peppers contain carotenoids and other plant compounds that act as antioxidants, making them a nutrient-dense way to add color, crunch and micronutrients to meals.
