The colours are not just for show, though. To begin with the stronger the colour of the capsicum, the greater it’s anti-oxidant content. Secondly, the colour itself indicates differing levels and a slightly different spectrum of phytochemicals and nutrients. Understand though, that they are all basically the same green capsicums that have been allowed to ripen: the chemicals that drive the ripening cycle release natural compounds that are of differing colours.
Green bell peppers are harvested first, which actually gives them their slightly bitter taste; yellow capsciums are allowed to stay on the tree longer, they are milder and have a fruity taste, orange ones are even sweeter and make great ingredients on salads; finally, we have the red peppers. These are the most mature type of bell peppers. They are very rich in carotenoid phytonutrients and vitamin C. Their beta-carotene content is almost 11 times that of green capsicums.
Capsicum Nutrients
Regardless of colour, the capsicum is a powerhouse of health-giving nutrients like vitamins A, B, C, and K, carotenoids, and dietary fiber.
