​Did you know 🤔 Red peppers 🌶contain approx 169% of the RDA making it one of the richest dietary sources of Vitamin C compared to an orange that contains approx 54mg ... Vitamin C is essential for overall health and wellness & is especially helpful for strengthening immune health, as it supports your immune system’s cellular function. 🌶Red bell peppers also contain vitamin K1, vitamin E, vitamin A, folate, potassium & vitamin B6 and are packed full of antioxidants. However, It's best to eat red peppers raw – as the heat when cooking depletes the vitamin C content.
If you’re plant based 🌱the best way to absorb non-heme iron, aka plant-based iron is by pairing it with a source of vitamin C. The vitamin C helps break the iron down into a form that the body can easily absorb . As our bodies cant synthesize vitamin C naturally we must get it directly from food sources or supplements to maintain good health.
