Most of the time when preparing food, people forget the beautiful vegetable
sweet bell pepper. It is a wonderful combination of tangy taste and crunchy
texture. They come in a wide array of vivid colors ranging from green, red,
yellow, orange, purple, brown to black. These vegetables are not spices and are
used quite often in salads, stews, or stir-fried dishes. I like to prepare a
stir-fried dish with bell peppers because it is quick to cook and provides an
excellent source of arytenoids, but also they may serve as the basis for some
of the anti-cancer benefits shown by green, yellow, red, and orange vegetable
intake in recent studies, including a recent study on risk reduction for
gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. With all the healthy benefits of the
enjoyable the bell pepper, let us start cooking.
