VITAMIN C

Did you know that a red pepper has nearly 3 times more Vitamin C per gram than an orange!?

VITAMIN C is vital for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of our body. It is also needed for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.

The minimum recommended daily intake is between 75mg (women) to 90mg (men) of Vitamin C for normal growth and development.

Even though oranges are well known for being high in Vitamin C, an orange will only cover half your daily needs.

All bell peppers contain more vitamin C than an orange, ranging from 95 mg in a green to a whopping 341 mg in a yellow. They also contain just 45 calories per cup, making them the perfect snack with humous, peanut butter or chopped up in a stir fry
