Red bell peppers often come out on top in nutrition comparisons.
They are especially rich in vitamin C, sometimes offering more than double the amount found in green peppers. They also contain beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. This supports eye health, skin repair, and immunity.
Research published by the National Institutes of Health highlights how vitamin C supports immune defence and helps the body absorb iron better.
Red peppers also carry compounds like capsanthin, a powerful antioxidant linked to reduced inflammation.
In simple terms, if the goal is maximum nutrition per bite, red peppers take the lead.
