Red, yellow, and green bell peppers are not the same: What their colours actually tell you about nutrition

Red, yellow, and green bell peppers differ mainly because of ripeness. Red peppers are richest in nutrients, especially vitamin C and antioxidants. Yellow peppers provide a middle-ground option with eye-health benefits, while green peppers are lower in sugar and calories. Eating a mix of all three, both raw and lightly cooked, offers the most balanced health benefits.
