As a rule, people who argue about the benefits of bell pepper are right. But I wonder what kind of paprika they mean: green, yellow or red. These vegetables differ not only in color and taste, but also in mineral and vitamin composition.
Instructions
Step 1
Green bell pepper contains 2.4 g sugar, 1.7 g fiber in 100 g; yellow - 0.7 g sugar, 0.9 g fiber; red - 4, 2 g of sugar, 2, 1 g of fiber. From these indicators it can be seen that red bell pepper prevails in sugar content, which is why it is the sweetest. There is not enough fiber in yellow.
Step 2
Interestingly, many people believe that yellow bell peppers are significantly sweeter than green peppers, although this is not true. In reality, the difference in sugar content in these varieties of paprika is very small, but still in favor of green pepper.
Step 3
If the difference in the nutritional composition of different varieties of peppers is nominal, in terms of the content of vitamins and minerals, it is simply colossal. For example, red bell pepper, like other varieties of paprika, is very rich in vitamin C. In addition, it has a distinctive feature - a high content of vitamin A. If you eat one large bell pepper a day, it will almost four times overlap the body's daily need for vitamin C and will almost completely compensate for the lack of vitamin A. Also, red bell pepper contains a large amount of zinc and vitamins PP, B9, B2, B5, E.
Step 4
Yellow bell pepper also has a high content of vitamin C, which exceeds the daily requirement of a person by 5 times, if you eat one large fruit. In addition, this variety boasts the presence of vitamin B6 and iron.
Step 5
Green bell peppers cannot compete with red and yellow paprika in terms of vitamins and minerals. However, do not discount it. For example, one apple contains 19 times less vitamin C than green bell peppers. In addition, it has the highest vitamin K content of all paprika varieties.
Step 6
If we talk in general about the benefits of bell pepper, it should be noted that it helps to strengthen blood vessels, reduce their permeability. Also, the use of paprika improves the condition of the skin and mucous membranes, hair growth, vision. Bell pepper will ease the condition with bronchitis, prevent the development of atherosclerosis, and is useful for normalizing cerebral circulation.
Step 7
The use of bell pepper will speed up the recovery process from flu, sore throat and other colds. It will help stimulate appetite, activate the stomach and pancreas. It should be noted that regular consumption of bell pepper prevents blood clots.
