Have you ever heard the expression "eat the rainbow"? Bell peppers are jam packed with nutrients such as vitamin C, fibre and phytonutrients. Phytonutrients, meaning plant nutrients, have antioxidant properties which work to promote good health. These phytonutrients are what gives peppers, and many other fruits and vegetables their vibrant colours. Add bell peppers to your meals and snacks to bump up the nutrient value!

Bell peppers originate from central and south America. Although perennials, they are sensitive to low temperatures and grow as annuals in cooler climates. In Alberta, most bell peppers are grown in greenhouses.

Did you know that the longer bell peppers stay on the plant, the sweeter they become? This is why green peppers are more bitter in flavour, and red peppers are sweeter. Green and red bell peppers are actually the same plant, green peppers peppers are just picked earlier.
