Peppers are a great way to add color, flavor and nutrition to a wide variety of foods, says Sheree Taylor, human sciences regional extension agent for the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.

“They are low in calories and burst in flavor,” she says. “Peppers can be crisp, sweet or spicy.” Not to mention they come in green, red, orange or yellow colors and sometimes a bit of all four.

All colors of peppers have nutritional benefits, Taylor says, but red peppers actually have higher antioxidant and phytonutrient levels, because they are riper. They also supply more potassium, vitamin C and folate.
