That's why peppers arehealthy: they are rich in vitamin C (good for the immune system, also promotes iron absorption), folic acid (especially important for pregnant women), fiber (important for digestion) and a variety of antioxidants that can not only bind free radicals in the body, but also have a positive effect on blood pressure and reduce the risk of age-related eye diseases.
