Peppers, red or green, are rich source of vitamin-C, concentrated in red peppers at the highest levels. 100 g red pepper provides 213% of RDA of vitamin C. Vitamin-C is a potent water soluble antioxidant. In the human body, it is required for collagen synthesis. Collagen is the main structural protein in the body required to maintain integrity of blood vessels, skin, organs, and bones. Regular consumption of foods rich in this vitamin helps the human body protect from scurvy; develop resistance against infectious agents (boosts immunity) & scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals from the body.
