6. Sweet Peppers

Bell peppers, often known as sweet peppers, are a popular raw or cooked vegetable. They are native to North and South America and are members of the nightshade family. In the United States, they are in season during the summer and fall. Bell peppers come in a variety of hues depending on their ripeness. People can pick from the least ripe green peppers to the most ripe yellow, orange, purple, or red peppers.

Because red peppers are riper than yellow or green peppers, they may contain greater antioxidant and phytonutrient levels than yellow or green peppers. Bell peppers, like many vegetables, contain trace levels of sugar. Red peppers have a sweeter flavor than green peppers, which can be bitter.
