What is this food?
Sweet/bell pepper (green), a crunchy vegetable used in salads, stir-fries, and viands.
Why it matters to health
Green bell pepper is low in calories (about 44 kcal per 100g) and provides dietary fiber (3.1g) to help you feel full and support healthy digestion. It also has carbohydrates (8.1g) with some natural sugar (4.3g), plus very little fat (0.5g) and low sodium (12mg), which makes it a good choice for everyday meals. The fiber and low sodium can help balance your overall daily intake, especially when paired with rice and viands.
Healthier tips
- Add 1–2 cups of bell pepper to your meals (e.g., as part of your ulam or mixed in stir-fry) to boost fiber and volume without adding many calories.
- For snacks, pair it with protein (e.g., eggs or tuna) or enjoy it with hummus/Greek yogurt dip to keep you satisfied.
- When cooking, go easy on salty sauces (soy sauce, patis, seasoning mixes). Choose herbs, garlic, and a little oil instead.
- Try color variety: mix green with red/yellow peppers for more variety in nutrients.
