This week’s secret ingredient is Red and Orange Peppers.

Healthy Facts

Red peppers have a little more health benefits than it’s green relative.  They supply lots of beta-carotene which your body converts to vitamin A, great for night vision.  The orange are top source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which may guard against cataracts.  The orange peppers contain more zeaxanthin than any fruit or other vegetable.  Bell peppers are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotenoids.

How to Buy

Look for firm peppers with a tight skin and no wrinkles.  Yeah I know, sounds like I’m discriminating against those of us who have seen a few summers but you want your peppers young.  Also keep in mind these beauties love to hold on to the toxins in chemicals so please buy organic as much as possible if not every time.

How to Store

Pop them into the refrigerator in a paper bag in the vegetable drawer.  They will keep for around a week.

Favorite Tip

Anytime you are at the store pick some of these beauties up and toss them into your salads, scrambled eggs, or stuff them.  Just get them into  your menu!
