Nutritional Tips
Peppers are low in calories and very rich in vitamin C. Green ones are lower in calories (20 kcal/100g according to USDA) with a bitter taste while yellow and red ones are sweeter in taste.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. Interestingly, most animals can synthesise, but humans cannot do it, guinea pigs, primates, and birds neither because we do not have the enzyme called “L-gluconolactone oxidase”. This enzyme is involved in synthesizing vitamin C from glucose and galactose. Therefore, we must eat vitamin C from our diet.
