Omelet Making Tip

Bell Pepper

Bell peppers can be found in most supermarkets in green, red, yellow, orange and sometimes purple varieties. The colors are entirely interchangeable. There are only subtle differences between them, if at all. The bell pepper has a high concentration of both Vitamin A and Vitamin C. A one cup serving of raw bell pepper provides more than 100% of the daily recommended allowance of both of these vitamins.
