The organic California red pepper is a short, wide fruit belonging to the Solanaceae family. This pepper is known for its high vitamin C content, which exceeds that of many fruits, and its low-calorie count due to its high water and fiber content. Additionally, it is rich in antioxidants like carotenoids that contribute to its characteristic red color and provides other essential vitamins such as A, E, and several B vitamins. Its consumption is recommended for its health benefits, including improvements in vision, immune system function, and iron absorption. It is harvested in red, green, or yellow, and is perfect for a healthy, balanced diet.
