Green Bell Pepper

	Green bell pepper or sweet bell pepper is a staple in cooking. The pepper can be eaten raw or cooked a variety of ways. The flavor and texture of the bell peppers can be changed dramatically when they are roasted in the oven or grilled over hot coals. Bell pepper is loaded with vitamins A and C. In fact, a cup of bell pepper provides around 100% of the recommended daily allowance for both vitamins. The peppers are readily available in supermarkets and farmers markets. The sweet peppers are also available in red, yellow and orange variety, giving the chef some very nice colors to work with when preparing dishes.
