What is this food?
This is sweet/bell pepper (green), a crunchy, sweet-tasting vegetable.
Why it matters to health
Green bell pepper adds fiber (helps keep you full and supports healthy digestion) and low calories (about 28 kcal per 100 g). It also has some natural sugar (2.8 g) and very low sodium (8 mg), which makes it a good choice for everyday meals. Its small amount of fat is minimal, and cholesterol is zero—so it fits well when building balanced plates.
Healthier tips
- Add it to your 3 meals and also to 1–2 snacks (e.g., sliced pepper with yogurt or hummus).
- Pair it with a protein (fish, chicken, tofu, eggs) and a carb (rice, bread, or potatoes) for better meal balance.
- For snacks, try 1–2 cups of sliced pepper instead of sugary snacks.
- If you’re cooking, lightly sauté or stir-fry with less oil, and keep sauces moderate.
