Yellow Bell Pepper Seeds

Vegetables can add such a wonderful splash of color to your Healthiest Way of Eating table. The green, red, yellow, purple and black colors reflect the rich source of health-promoting phytonutrients found in bell peppers, which provide powerful antioxidant protection against free radicals.

Bell pepper is not only an excellent source of carotenoids, but also a source of over 30 different members of the carotenoid nutrient family. A recent study from Spain took a close look vitamin C, vitamin E, and six of these carotenoids (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin) in all commonly eaten foods and found that only two vegetables contained at least two-thirds of all the listed nutrients. One of these foods was tomato, and the other was sweet bell pepper! Bell pepper alone provided 12% of the total zeaxanthin found in the participants’ diets. (Bell pepper also provided 7% of the participants’ total vitamin C intake.)
