Fruits- Bell Peppers

Generally known as a 'vegetable', the Bell Pepper is actually a fruit. Technically Botany does not recognize 'vegetable' as a known entity; most are either fruits, roots, fungi, legumes, or other assorted titles. Red and Green are the two biggest varieties, but Green is the most common. Both peppers have enormous nutritional value that most people don't know.

I have found differing opinions on exactly what nutrition is in Bell Peppers, so the following is merely a guide to approximate values;

20-30 calories
6-9% of your daily Potassium
8-10% of your daily Fiber
1-3 grams of Protein
15-25 % of your daily Vitamin A
180-200% of your daily Vitamin C
4-6% of your daily Iron

It is the Vitamin C that throws people for a loop. The Green Bell Pepper is a BETTER source of Vitamin C than the Orange.

Same caviat to the Red Bell Pepper;
20-30 calories
6-10% of your daily Potassium
10-12% of your daily Vitamin B6
8-12% of your daily Fiber
1-3 grams of Protein
100-120% of your daily Vitamin A
200-250% of your daily Vitamin C
2-6% of your daily Iron

Both have a small, but not insignificant amount of; Vitamin E, Folate, Manganese, Molybdenum, and other trace elements.
