Red Bell Pepper

The red bell pepper packs a huge amount of nutrients.  This vegetable is a great all round immunity booster.  Red bell peppers have a high water content to help flush out toxins from the body.  Also this veggie is packed with beta-carotene and vitamin C to help ward off colds.

Rich in vitamins B3, B6, C, E, K, beta-carotene, biotin, folate, calcium, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, zinc and fiber.

Peppers taste great raw in any kinds of salad or by itself.  You can also use them cooked in sauces, or as one veggie with your meal.

Also note like tomatoes, red peppers are one of the few foods packed with lycopene which is an antioxidant.
