Pepper

Pepper

It has a high water content and provides a low caloric intake (20 calories/100 g) with a significant concentration of micronutrients and fibre, which produces a feeling of satiety.

One of the best sources of vitamin C, 100 g of fresh red pepper provides nothing less than 190 mg of vitamin C, more than three times as much as oranges. They also excel in beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A, and another fat-soluble vitamin and an antioxidant that is often scarce in vegetables low in fat: vitamin E.

This antioxidant and the protective cocktail is accompanied by vitamin B6, folic acid, flavonoids, organic acids and salicylates with anti-inflammatory effect.
