Bell peppers are fat free, low in calories and high in
Vitamin C. To pick a good bell pepper, look for deep consistent
color and thick firm skin. Although marketed as different
items, green and red bell peppers are actually the same
vegetable. All colors of bell peppers start green but slowly
transform into various colors as they mature. They taste
different because as the pepper matures, their sugar content
increases. Bell peppers come in many colors including yellow,
orange, red, purple, brown and of course green. To roast
bell peppers, grill them until the skin is slightly blackened.
Remove from the heat and immediately place them in a paper
or plastic bag. After 10 minutes the peels should fall off
the flesh with light rubbing.
