PEPPERS

I can’t imagine my garden without peppers. Sometimes I plant them in planters on the terrace. Those who grow peppers in greenhouses can harvest them through all year.

I usually grow little green and yellow peppers, because they are more strong and healthy.

Peppers contain a lot of natural active substances, like:

*vitamin C & A,

*niacin,

*carotenoids,

*capsaicin.

 

With 150 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams, peppers are one of the most important suppliers of vitamin C.

As we know vitamin C is necessary for strengthening of the immune system and circulatory system.

But remember: vitamin C is very sensitive to light and heat, so that’s why you shouldn’t cook or store it for too long, because with that peppers loose most of the vitamin C.

Peppers contain vitamin A, which is important for health of mucous membranes in the body, it acts as an antibiotic and protects tiny vessels from bacteria and cancer.

Red and yellow peppers, contains a lot of carotenoids.

The peppers substance is called Capsaicin, which prevents blood clotting and blood circulation disorders of heart attacks and strokes.

The peppers prevent headaches and migraines, powdered peppers contain a lot of Capsaicin, even more of it you’ll find in peppers seeds. That’s why it’s not good to cut and clean peppers too precisely.

It is the best to buy peppers on the marketplace and store it in refrigerator up to four days.

The smallest peppers are less fertilized and laden with chemicals.

In kitchen peppers are a real treasure, because you can make a delicious and healthy tasty tomato salad, they are also good as stuffed peppers, which can make it as a main dish.
