1. Bell peppers have the highest Vitamin C of any fruit or vegetable. In fact, it’s 3 times more than oranges!

2. Like quite a few other vegetables, they are botanically classified as a fruit because they contain seeds and grow from the flower of the plant.

3. All bell peppers start out as green. Yellow, orange, red, and purple are all stages of ripening, and offer different levels of sweetness.

4. Peppers got the name from the Greek word, pipari, meaning the black spice. They were given their name from being spicy, like black pepper (which was a valuable commodity in the 17th century). Bell peppers look like other varieties, so the name was a good fit when Columbus found them in the Caribbean, though they are believed to originate in Central and South America.

5. Like other capsicums (peppers), they can be dried and powdered, which is what makes paprika. Bell peppers are the only kind that has no capsaicin, therefore they have no heat or spice.

* Prevents hypertension
* Regulates blood pressure
* Boost immune system
* Helps burn calories

| Fun Facts | RED CABBAGE

1. Red cabbage is a good source of the flavonoids, a powerful antioxidant that can help protect your body against serious illnesses like cancer. “Flavonoids help the blood vessels to relax. The compounds have that benefit. It also protects the cholesterol from becoming oxidized. It’s not necessarily dangerous to you until it’s oxidized.

2. It is the flavonoids in the cabbage that give it its color. Red cabbage has a flavonoid called anthocyanin, which is also found in blueberries and flower petals.

3. Red cabbage is high in fiber, which aids in digestion by forcing out all the bad stuff along the way.

4. Red cabbage can be used for kitchen science experiments. The purple leafy vegetable is considered an indicator, which can be used to distinguish between acids and bases. Doesn’t that sound like fun? You make cabbage juice and see if it changes color when you add another liquid to it.

5. Red cabbage can also be used as a natural dye for cloth or food. How about a cabbage tie-dyed t-shirt?
