This is an interesting site if you like peppers.

From: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?t...dspice&dbid=50


"One cup of raw, chopped red peppers provides over 100% of the DV for
vitamin C and vitamin A. Red peppers are also an excellent source of
vitamin B6. In addition to beta-carotene, red peppers contain the
beneficial phytonutrients lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin.

Green peppers are a very good source of fiber, folate, and vitamin K as
well as the minerals molybdenum and manganese."
