Amazing Health Benefits of Bell pepper And Nutritional Value

Article Updated on March 20, 2018 By gachie

What is a Bell pepper?

Scientific name of Bell pepper is Capsicum annum. The edible portion of the plant is its pod shaped fruit. It is a popular exotic vegetable used in many continental food preparations. It is a cool season vegetable. Bell pepper is also known as sweet pepper and capsicum. Bell pep- per can be grown both as an open field crop and as a protected greenhouse crop. Under open field conditions,bell pepper is grown in hills during summers and during winters in plains. Under protected conditions, bell pepper can be grown throughout the year.

Bell Pepper Varieties Green and red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, orange bell peppers, white bell peppers, purple bell peppers etc. are different varieties of bell peppers. Bell peppers are in different colors depending on their growth level the green one is unripe and the red one is the ripe one,the orange and yellow ones are in ‘the middle’. They have many health benefits which includes heart health, improves vision, reduces cancer risk among others.

Types of Bell Pepper

Cherry Peppers

Sweet cherry peppers can be a bit spicy, but that’s part of their fun. Mainly they are sweet little nuggets that taste like what they look like: condensed red peppers. They’re tasty raw as a poppy little snack. They’re also good in salads or pickled.

Cubanelle Peppers

These long, thin peppers are a pale yellow-green when they first grow, but will darken and then turn red if left to fully ripen. Most are sold in their unripe state and used chopped as an aromatic for other dishes, or roasted and stuffed.

Green Bell Peppers

These are the peppers we, and so many others, grew up with. They are grassy in flavor and super-crunchy in texture. We happen to like them best in stuffed peppers. Whether you decide to stuff them with ground meat or quinoa and veggies, then cook them until tender and juicy, we are sure they’ll find a special place in your heart.

Italian Frying Peppers

These skinny, mild peppers are so named because they are at their best when either sliced long and thin or chopped up and gently fried in olive oil. The long, thing slices make a side dish all on their own. The chopped up ones are perfect for adding to sandwiches (best with Italian deli meats, of course!).

To fry them: use a large pan over medium heat with plenty of high-quality olive oil in it. Trim the peppers (remove their stems; slice them lengthwise and remove their seeds, if you like, and add the to the pan. Sprinkle with some salt and cook, stirring now and again, until the peppers are supremely soft, about 30 minutes.

Orange Bell Peppers

Like their sunny brethren, the yellow bell peppers, orange bell peppers are a bit less flavorful than red bell peppers, but just as sweet and just as pretty. Use them raw in salads or roast them up to add their bright orange sunshine to dishes.

Purple Bell Peppers

Purple bell peppers are less sweet that red, orange, or yellow belle peppers, but they’re definitely sweeter than green ones. They are perfect in salads or other raw dishes since their brilliant shiny purple color turns muddy and even a bit gray when cooked.

Red Bell Peppers

These are the most popular sweet peppers, This is probably because they are, in fact, quite sweet. Their bright color and sweet flavor make them perfect for tossing into salads (such as this Corn Avocado Pepper Salad or this Pickled Bell Pepper Salad).

Red peppers have a less grassy flavor than most peppers and become silken and luscious when roasted, a trait highlighted in this delicious Red Pepper Marinara Sauce.

Roasting Pimentos (Pimentons)

Roasting pimentos are best for, as you may have guessed, roasting. They tend to have a high sugar level and roasting brings out their deep sweetness and makes it silky smooth. See How to Roast Peppers Under a Broiler and How to Roast Peppers Over a Flame to make the most of these lovelies. (Note: Others may use them in dishes, but I prefer to serve them roasted and drizzled with a bit of extra virgin olive oil, and call it a day.)

Yellow Bell Peppers

Yellow peppers can be used much like red or orange peppers. They are similarly sweet, but have a milder taste. They roast up beautifully, just like red peppers, and keep their lovely yellow hue when cooked.

Bell Pepper History

Bell pepper, as they are known in the United States, refers to the fruit of the cultivar capsicum annuum that can be found in a range of colors; red, orange, yellow, green, and even purple or white. They are known as sweet peppers or simply peppers in the United Kingdom and Ireland, while in India, New Zealand, and Australia they are known as capsicum. Bell peppers are just one species of the family capsicum annuum, which includes, Anaheim chilis, jalapenos, and New Mexico chilis.While peppers share their name with the popular dried peppercorns, they are in no way related.

Bell peppers are native to Mexico, Central America, and Northern South America. They were introduced to Spain by Christoper Columbus in 1493 and from their they spread throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. Aside from what is known about Columbus bringing peppers to Europe not much is known about their history before that. It is well known that peppers existed long before this and were used by natives of South, Central, and North America. Prehistoric remains of peppers have been discovered at numerous sites in Peru.

Numerous authors wrote about the presence of peppers in Spain throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, but they did not appear in cook books until the 18th century. Today bell peppers are widely used throughout the world. They have taken on prominence the cuisine of India, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and The Middle East.

In the United States, bell peppers are grown in Florida, California, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona. China produces almost 60% of the worlds annual production at more than 14 million metric tonnes. Mexico follows a distant second at 1.6 million tonnes and the United States ranks sixth at less than 1 million tonnes.

April 1st marked the 90th anniversary of the development of the modern sweet pepper, also known as the bell pepper. In Central America, Mexico, and northern South America there is evidence that numerous types of peppers (Capsicum annuum) have been cultivated by native peoples for at least 6,500 years.

Bell pepper Nutrition

The bell pepper is a cultivar group of the Capsicum annum species of plants, part of the family of foods known as nightshade vegetables. Botanically, it’s a fruit, but nutritionally considered a vegetable. While the other cultivars within this species are famous for their capsaicin content (which is what gives most peppers and chilis, such as cayenne peppers, their spicy taste), bell peppers contain no capsaicin and are referred to in many cultures as “sweet peppers.”

There are various color varieties of bell peppers, with the most common being red, yellow and green. However, you may find them more infrequently in orange, brown, white and lavender. There are also nutritional differences between colors of bell peppers — for example, a red bell pepper contains over eight times the amount of vitamin A than a green bell pepper.

My favorite thing about bell peppers is their extremely high concentration of antioxidants. Just one of these handy veggies will provide more than twice the daily recommended amount of vitamin C, and three-fourths of your daily needed vitamin A intake.

And the best part? When you eat these vitamins rather than take them in supplement form, your body is able to absorb exactly the amount you need and safely expel the rest. This is especially important in regards to vitamin A, because overdosing on vitamin A supplements (what is known as “preformed” vitamin A) can cause extremely serious side effects. But this is not so when you consume it through your diet!

Fresh, raw bell peppers are mainly composed of water (92%). The rest is made up of carbohydrates and small amounts of protein and fat. The table below presents all the main nutrients in bell peppers.

Carbs

Bell peppers are primarily composed of carbs, accounting for the majority of the total calorie content. A cup (149 grams) of chopped red bell peppers contains 9 grams of carbs. The carbs are mostly sugars, such as glucose and fructose, which are responsible for the sweet taste of ripe bell peppers. Bell peppers also contain small amounts of fiber, 2% by fresh weight. Calorie for calorie, they are actually a very good fiber source.

Vitamins and Minerals

Bell peppers are loaded with various vitamins and minerals, and are exceptionally rich in vitamin C.

Vitamin C: One medium-sized red bell pepper contains 169% of the RDA for vitamin C, making it one of the richest dietary sources of this essential nutrient.

Vitamin B6: Pyridoxine is the most common type of vitamin B6, which is a family of nutrients that are important for the formation of red blood cells.

Vitamin K1: A form of vitamin K, also known as phylloquinone. It is important for blood clotting and bone health.

Potassium: An essential mineral that may improve heart health if consumed in adequate amounts.

Folate: Also known as folic acid, folacin, or vitamin B9, folate has a variety of functions in the body. Adequate folate intake is very important during pregnancy.

Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant, essential for healthy nerves and muscles. The best dietary sources of this fat-soluble vitamin are oils, nuts, seeds, and vegetables.

Vitamin A: Red bell peppers are high in pro-vitamin A (beta-carotene), which is converted into vitamin A in the body.

Benefits of Potassium

Bell peppers are good sources of potassium. This mineral helps in keeping the fluids and minerals balanced in the body. It enhances muscle function and regulates blood pressure.

Other Plant Compounds

Bell peppers are rich in various antioxidants, especially carotenoids, which are much more abundant when they are ripe.

Capsanthin: Abundant in red bell peppers, capsanthin is a powerful antioxidant responsible for their brilliant red color. Studies indicate that this carotenoid may help protect against cancer.
Violaxanthin: The most common carotenoid antioxidant in yellow bell peppers.
Lutein: While being abundant in green bell peppers and black paprika, lutein is absent from ripe bell peppers. Adequate intake of lutein may improve eye health.
Quercetin: A polyphenol antioxidant found in a wide variety of plants. Studies indicate that it may be beneficial for the prevention of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.
Luteolin: Similarly to quercetin, luteolin is an polyphenol antioxidant that may have a variety of beneficial health effects

Health Benefits of Bell pepper

1. Improves Vision

Bell peppers contain vitamin A which help support healthy eyesight, especially night vision. They also contain lutein that helps in lowering the risk of macular degeneration of the eyes. Macular degeneration of eyes is the most common cause of age related visual loss. Bell peppers also protect your eyes from cataracts due to their high levels of beta-carotene and vitamin C.

2. Reduces Cancer Risk

Bell peppers contain anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant which neutralizes free radicals that can cause harm to cells. The enzymes in bell pepper help to prevent gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. The carotenoid lycopene is found to be effective in the prevention of prostate, bladder, cervix and pancreas cancer.

3. Heart Health

Red bell peppers are rich in lycopene, thus making them excellent for a healthy heart whereas green bell peppers are a good source of cholesterol lowering fiber. Increased homocysteine levels can lead to a higher risk of heart disease. Bell peppers contain vitamin B6 and folate which help to lower homocysteine levels.

4. Boosts Immunity

Bell peppers protect the skin from damage-causing free radicals, thus promoting healthy and younger looking skin.

7.Treats Anemia

Anemia is a common condition characterized by reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen. One of the most common causes of anemia is iron deficiency, the main symptoms of which are weakness and tiredness. Not only are red bell peppers a decent source of iron, they are also exceptionally rich in vitamin C, which increases the absorption of iron from the gut.

In fact, one medium-sized red bell pepper may contain 169% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin C. Absorption of dietary iron is significantly increased when consumed with fruits or vegetables that are high in vitamin C. For this reason, eating raw bell peppers with iron-rich foods, such as meat or spinach, may help increase your body’s iron stores, cutting the risk of anemia.

It has a very important part to reduce the risk of colon’s cancer.

Improper digestive functioning results in diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc. that is utterly irritating and draining. Nutritionists recommend incorporating bell peppers into your daily diet due to the high niacin content found in them. Niacin is a vitamin B that is essential to improve the condition of your digestive system. Proper digestion of foods will allow your body to absorb minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients that you consume on a daily basis. Hence, add some bell pepper to your salads and keep digestive problems at bay.

11. Nourishing for Fetus

Nutritionists recommend consuming folate to expectant mothers as it nourishes the fetus. You can reap plenty of nutrients along with the high content of folate from any bell pepper for the healthy development of the fetus. Consuming bell pepper raw or cooked during pregnancy is said to be effective for pregnant mothers; however, consuming diet after consulting with your physician is advised specifically during pregnancy.

However, more studies are underway to determine the benefits of antioxidants found in bell peppers on the growth of cancerous cells in the body.

13. Anti-Inflammatory

Body inflammation can contribute to daunting diseases if not treated on time. Nutritionists encourage people to consume foods enriched with anti-inflammatory properties such as bell peppers. Studies have shown that incorporating orange and red bell peppers can prevent chronic joints and muscles inflammation. Moreover, the nutrients found in the vegetable are potent to ward off factors associated with seasonal allergies. You can incorporate bell peppers to minimize the allergic reactions in the diet of children and adults alike. However, it is advised to consult with your primary care physician in case of severe inflammation and allergy and to avoid self-medication.

Not only does folate help reduce birth defects, it also promotes healthy neural tube development, helps in a child growing to an appropriate birth rate before delivery, and causes the face and heart to develop properly.

How To Select And Store Bell Pepper

All bell peppers are not grown equally, so be cautious in your shopping. They are cmmonly known for having the largest concentration of pesticides when bought in non-organic form.

Buying your bell peppers organic is not only important because of the presence of pesticides, but because organic bell peppers contain a much better antioxidant load. Researchers in Poland discovered in 2012 that organic bell peppers contain “significantly more vitamin C, total carotenoids, β-carotene, α-carotene, cis-β-carotene, total phenolic acids and flavonoids compared with [non-organic varieties].”

As with most fruits and vegetables, try to choose bell peppers without any obvious damage. The brighter the flavor, the fresher your peppers will be. When shopping, search for brightly colored peppers with a firm skin that yields to slight pressure- skin will shine! Make sure the stems of the bell pepper are green in color. The peppers will be heavy for their size. Avoid peppers with bruises, soft spots, or shriveled skin.

Store
Place bell peppers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator- will last 5 to 7 days! Add a damp paper towel to the vegetable compartment- helps the pepper to retain its water.

Cherry Pepper

Growing Cherry Pepper

Cherry Pepper plants are treated just like other pepper varieties. They love warm soil, warm air and ample irrigation. Before planting peppers in the garden, try heating the soil with a layer of black plastic for a week or two. All types of peppers exhibit excellent root and shoot growth when planted in warm soil.

Cherry pepper plants reach about 2 feet in height at maturity with an equal spread. Most are ready to harvest about 75 to 80 days after planting. Avoid setting transplants out too, early as peppers are intolerant of frosts.

Harvest cherry peppers regularly for continual production and improved yields. Like other pepper types, cherry peppers drop their flowers when temperatures rise above the high 80s. But don’t worry; once the hot spell passes and temperatures cool down a bit, the flowers will no longer abort and production will begin again.

A word of caution: If you grow both sweet and hot cherry pepper varieties, label the plants well, especially if you have kids who like to snack as they walk through the garden. It’s quite a surprise to expect a bite of fresh, sweet pepper and end up with a mouthful of heat.

Cherry Pepper Simple Recipe

Quick-Pickled Cherry Peppers

Ingredients

  • 12 cherry peppers, washed well
  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, cut into thirds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 peppercorns

Procedure

  1. With the tip of a knife, poke a few holes around the tops of the peppers. Place peppers and remaining ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the peppers are slightly softened.
  2. Cool for approximately 30 minutes. Transfer peppers and brine to storage container and refrigerate. Eat peppers once they’ve cooled or store for up to a week in the refrigerator.
  3. Serve them whole or scoop out the seeds and stuff them with your favorite cheese or meat.

Cubanelle Pepper

This yellow-green to red tapered fruit is prized for a sweet, mild flesh that is growing in popularity because of its rich flavor and pretty colors for frying and cooking. The thin-walled pepper is especially suited for quick cooking. Popular in dishes of Spanish, Italian, and Slavic descent, many cooks prefer it to bell types. In the garden, Cubanelle peppers are unique, often growing in imperfect shapes and changing color from green/yellow to shades of orange to red. Don’t be surprised if the some of the peppers curl and twist a bit. No two seem to ever be alike — it’s part of of their charm.

Some Bonnie Plants varieties may not be available in your local area, due to different variables in certain regions. Also, if any variety is a limited, regional variety it will be noted on the pertinent variety page.

Growing Cubanelle Pepper

Light requirements: Full sun.

Planting: Space 12 to 48 inches apart, depending on type. (See information above for specific recommendations.)

Soil requirements: Peppers need well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Amend soil with 3 to 5 inches of compost or other organic matter prior to planting. Soil pH should be 6.2 to 7.0.

Water requirements: Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Mulch soil to reduce water evaporation.

Frost-fighting plan: Pepper is a hot-weather crop. A light frost will damage plants (28º F to 32º F), and temps below 55º F slow growth and cause leaves to look yellowish. If a surprise late spring frost is in the forecast, protect newly planted seedlings with a frost blanket.

Common issues: Plants drop flowers when daytime temps soar above 90º F. Few pests bother peppers, but keep an eye out for aphids, slugs, pill bugs, and leafminers. Humid weather (especially in gardens with heavy soil that doesn’t drain well) can invite fungal diseases like leafspot.

Harvesting: Check image on plant tag (or at the top of this page) to learn what your pepper looks like when mature. Some peppers turn red, yellow, or other colors at maturity. Others are ready in the green stage, but will turn red if left on plants. Use pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut peppers with a short stub of stem attached. Pulling peppers by hand can cause entire branches to break off. Fruits store longer for fresh use if you don’t remove the stem, which can create an open wound that’s ripe for spoiling.

Storage: Store unwashed (or washed and dried) peppers in the refrigerator in a loosely closed plastic bag. Moisture is a pepper’s enemy and hastens spoiling. For peak flavor and nutrition, use within a week.

Green Bell pepper

A fresh, crisp green bell pepper is a tasty vegetable that can be a regular part of your healthy eating plan. This vegetable is low in calories and contains 0 grams of fat and a good supply vitamins and minerals. Their mildly sweet flavor makes green bell peppers versatile enough to include a wide variety of nutritious recipes.

Bonnie’s best hybrid sweet bell pepper! A heavy yielder of large fruits. A good all-round pepper for slicing, stuffing, and freezing. This bell produces lots of fresh bell peppers gradually over the growing season. Plants in our Alabama garden produce from June through October, yielding 30 or more peppers from each plant. (Your results will vary based on care and the length of your growing season.) This is a good-sized plant, so be prepared to stake if needed.

Nutritional Benefits of Green Bell Pepper

Fiber
A 1-cup serving of green bell peppers contains 2.5 grams of fiber toward the daily recommendation of 21 to 25 grams for women and the 30 to 38 grams for men. When you take in enough fiber on a daily basis, your digestive system works more efficiently, which means you’re less likely to get constipated or develop hemorrhoids. Getting enough fiber reduces your risk of heart disease and diabetes as well. Fiber might also help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight because it keeps you full, which can help prevent you from eating too much.

Vitamins C and E
You need between 75 and 90 milligrams of vitamin C per day, and one cup of chopped green bell peppers provides 119.8 milligrams. When you get enough vitamin C, you’re less likely to develop infections, and your skin, teeth, gums and blood vessels are healthier and work more efficiently. The same serving of chopped green bell peppers contains 0.55 milligrams of vitamin E toward the 15 milligrams you should take in every day. Vitamin E helps protect your cells from damage and supports a strong immune system.

Health Benefits of Green Bell Pepper
Eating a diet rich in vegetables, including green bell peppers, reduces your risk of certain chronic illnesses. A 2006 article published in the “Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine” reports that the antioxidants in vegetables reduce free radical damage. Free radicals are compounds that cause cell damage that can lead to inflammation, heart problems and cancer. While red bell peppers contain larger amounts of antioxidants, green bell peppers are a significant source as well. Green bell peppers also contain zeaxanthin, which keeps your eyes healthy and might reduce your risk of age-related eye disorders.

Tips
Eat raw green bell peppers with low-fat ranch dressing or hummus for a nutritious and tasty side dish or snack. Add chopped bell peppers to spaghetti sauce or your favorite lasagna recipe. Stir chopped green bell peppers into scrambled eggs or layer raw strips of the pepper onto a lean turkey or chicken sandwich. Include green bell peppers in vegetable, chicken noodle or minestrone soup. The peppers complement the taste of chili as well. Scatter pieces of raw green bell pepper over a tossed green salad or add to pasta salad.

Italian Frying pepper

Description/Taste
Italian Frying peppers range from lime citron to deep forest green and are 20 to 25 centimeters long with a curving convoluted shape. They quickly ripen to a bright red color when fully mature. The walls are thin and tender, encompassing few seeds that are perfectly edible and add a sweet taste to the pepper. The raw peppers are succulent and crisp, but then transform into a creamy smoky treat when cooked. They offer the perfect combination of sweetness and crunch, with a complex yet delicate roasted flavor.

Seasons/Availability
Italian Frying peppers may be found year-round with peak season in the summer.

Current Facts
Italian Frying peppers are a variety of Capsicum annuum, and may also be commonly referred to as Italianelles or Sweet Italian Long peppers. Unlike some peppers that are unpleasantly bitter and acrid when unripe, the Italian Frying peppers are sweet and delicious in all stages of ripeness, whether green, yellow or red. A commonly found Italian heirloom seed variety of this species is the “Jimmy Nardello”.

Nutritional Value
Like most peppers in the family, Italian Frying peppers are rich in vitamins C, B6 and A, antioxidants, carotenoids and flavonoids.

Applications
Italian Frying peppers are usually eaten whole, seeds and all, sautéed, grilled, charred, fried, baked and stuffed. Many recipes are beautifully simple involving nothing more than a hot pan, salt and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Their verdant pepper flavor compliments basil, thyme, parsley, garlic, onion, pine nuts, sausage and cheeses such as feta, goat, mozzarella, Parmesan, Fontina, provolone, gruyere and Gouda.

Geography/History
Italian Frying peppers are a vigorous plant that can grow in most temperate climates with moderate rainfall. They thrive during the heat of summer and are usually mature for harvest within 60-70 days of germination. The seeds of the Jimmy Nardello variety were donated in 1983 to Seed Savers Exchange for preservation by the peppers namesake, the son of Giuseppe and Angela Nardello. They were originally brought over from the Southern Italian coastal town of Ruoti when the family moved to America in 1887.

Italian Fried Peppers Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 Large Red Bell Peppers, seeded and sliced
  • 8 Cloves of Garlic, peeled but not chopped
  • 3 Tbsp of Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

Preparation
1.  Add the oil and garlic in a large non stick skillet and preheat it over medium heat. Cook it long enough for the garlic to become fragrant and lightly golden.

2.  Add the peppers and season with salt and pepper to taste.

3.  Cook them for about 25 to 30 minutes or until they have cooked down and have caramelized around the edges and become soft.

4.  Serve with some good quality Italian bread and enjoy!

Orange Bell Pepper

Bell peppers are high in nutrients and are a good addition to a well-balanced diet. They are available year-round at supermarkets and farmers markets, but are in season in the warmer months. Brightly colored bell peppers, including orange ones, offer similar health benefits due to the nutrients they contain. Try orange peppers in your next batch of fajitas or chop and add to quiche or salad.

Low in Fat and Calories
A diet that moderates fat and calorie intake is one that helps you control your weight. Getting too many calories and too much fat will cause you to gain weight, which increases your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Choosing foods that contain intense flavors without a large amount of fat or calories is beneficial to your health. Orange peppers are one such food and one of them contains only 30 calories and 0 grams of fat.

Vitamin C
One orange pepper contains 190 percent of the daily recommended intake for vitamin C, which is 75 milligrams for women and 90 milligrams for men. Vitamin C is a nutrient that supports healthy immunity and protects you from diseases. It also works to produce collagen, keeping your skin healthy and helps wounds heal. Eating vitamin C-rich foods makes it easier for your body to absorb the iron in your meals. For this reason, pairing orange bell peppers with fish or chicken is a good way to increase your iron stores, especially important for women who lose iron each month during menstruation.

Fiber
Orange bell peppers contain 2 grams of fiber each, making them a good way to reach the daily guidelines, which is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men. Fiber is calorie-free and digests slowly, which makes it a good way to control your appetite. Getting enough fiber each day also works to improve your cholesterol levels, reducing your risk of heart disease at the same time.
