What is this food?
Boiled sweet/bell or long green pepper (green pepper), served as a vegetable.
Why it matters to health
Green peppers are low in calories and provide dietary fiber (helps you feel full and supports healthy digestion). They also add carbohydrates and natural sweetness with relatively low sodium (about 2 mg per 100 g), which is helpful if you’re watching salt intake. The small amount of fat is minimal, and cholesterol is zero. If you’re cooking with sauces or adding salty ingredients, the overall sodium can go up—so it’s best to keep the seasonings light.
Healthier tips
- Use as a side vegetable for your 3 meals (e.g., add to ulam or mix into viand).
- Keep the cooking simple: boil, steam, or stir-fry with minimal oil and light seasoning.
- If you’re adding to dishes like sinigang or ginisa, taste first and go easy on bagoong, patis, and salty broth.
- For snacks, pair with a balanced meal plan: have fruit or yogurt as snacks, and let peppers stay part of your meal vegetables.
