Orange bell pepper - beneficial properties

Orange color indicates a large amount of α-, β-, γ-carotenes. The word carotene “carota” is Latin and means “carrot”. Carrots and orange peppers are leaders among vegetables in the content of carotenes, which have a beneficial effect on human vision. If we hold a “competition” on the healing properties between carrots and orange peppers, the latter will be the winner.

Another advantage of orange varieties of vegetables is that they, like red varieties, are simply an inexhaustible source of vitamin C (150-200 mg). In terms of ascorbic acid, red and orange representatives of sweet peppers are superior to lemons.

The southern vegetable is famous not only for ascorbic acid. In 100 gr. orange pepper contains a large number of other vitamins, without which it is impossible to imagine the normal functioning of the body: A (20 mg), B1 (0.08 mg), B2 (0.09 mg), B6 ​​(0.3 mg), B9 (10 µg) , PP (0.8 mg), E (0.7 mg).

The vegetable can also be called a real wealth for its saturation of fruits with microelements: iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus.

The low calorie content of the product (26 kcal) should also be included in the useful properties of the vegetable. By eating bell pepper, a person receives a whole range of vitamins and microelements without causing any harm to the figure.
