Healthy, because
Peppers are a miracle: no vegetable provides more vitamin C - and the colourful pods are also way ahead of the other two cell protection vitamins E and A. The A-C-E trio forms an excellent protective shield against cell-damaging oxygen compounds, which experts believe are partly responsible for cancer and cardiovascular diseases, among other things.
Even smarter
The more colourful the better! If you would like to serve the gratinated bread at a party, for example, mix red, yellow and green peppers. The plant dyes they contain complement each other perfectly in terms of cell protection.
