Peppers are not only colorful, they are a fantastic source of vitamin A – with the red variety being #1. The vitamin C leaders are the 'yellows'!
The champion Folate pepper is the red pepper! All three contain trace amounts of Niacin, vitamin B6, and Pantothenic Acid.
The minerals found in all three types are: a good source of Potassium, followed by Phosphorus, Magnesium, and Calcium.
