Never mind the over exaggerated title, power of literature there. In a nutshell, bell peppers are sometimes grouped with less harsh pepper varieties as “sweet peppers”, which is very cool.
Bell peppers are rich in thiamin, niacin, folate, magnesium, and copper, and Vitamin C in the green, which protect against scurvy, boosts the immune system, lowers inflammation in the arteries that leads to heart diseases, diabetes, and cholesterol. However, bell peppers comes in green, yellow, orange and red. With Green peppers slightly more bitter than yellow or orange peppers and red bell peppers being the sweetest.
