YELLOW CAPSICUM

Description:

Yellow capsicum, also known as yellow bell pepper, is a vibrant, sweet, and mildly flavored variety of capsicum. It is typically medium to large in size with a blocky, bell-shaped appearance. The skin is smooth and glossy, with a bright yellow color that indicates its stage of ripeness. Yellow capsicums are harvested later than green capsicums but earlier than red ones, making them sweeter than green but not as sweet as red.

Health Benefits:
 

• High in Vitamin C: Yellow capsicum is an excellent source of vitamin C, which is vital for a strong immune system, skin health, and collagen production. The high vitamin C content also helps in the absorption of iron from plant-based foods.

 

• Antioxidant Properties: Yellow capsicum contains various antioxidants, including vitamin C and carotenoids, which protect the body from oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.

 

• Supports Eye Health: Although it contains less vitamin A than red capsicum, yellow capsicum still provides some beta-carotene and other carotenoids, which are beneficial for maintaining good vision and preventing age-related eye conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration.
