Superfoods: Bell Peppers

While the bell pepper takes a back seat to chili peppers in the research spotlight due to its limited amount of the compound capsaicin, this versatile vegetable shouldn’t be overlooked as it possesses an overwhelming abundance of powerful nutrients. With over 30 carotenoids, including lycopene, alpha-carotene, cryptoxanthin, beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin and rich in flavonoids like luteolin, hesperidin, and quercetin, bell peppers are antioxidant powerhouses.

The information on oils and their health properties is changing rapidly. Recently, health experts have been talking about unrefined red palm oil. I have to admit, I didn’t know anything about it, […]
