Bell peppers
When you think about vitamin C enriched foods, you might think of citrus fruits automatically, such as lemon, grapefruits, and oranges. Therefore, one of the amazing sources of vitamin C is the bell pepper. Another incredible fact is that bell peppers have various amounts of vitamin C relying on the color of pepper.
Relying on the color, half cup (75 grams) serving of raw bell peppers gives the amounts of Vitamin C in the following:
Yellow bell peppers: 69 mg, or 76 % of the DV (Daily Value)
Green bell peppers: 60 mg, or 67% of the DV
Red bell peppers: 95 mg, or 106 % of the DV
Keep in mind, the above content of Vitamin C is for bell peppers (raw), so cooking or heating peppers reduces the content of vitamin C slightly. Bell peppers can also be in slices, chopped or adding into the salads, roasted, or stir-fries. You can enjoy them in Mexican spice tuna steak with red peppers salsa.
