Red pepper

Nowadays, peppers are grown throughout tropical regions. Originally, pepper varieties and species came from Central and South America.
Peppers are imported from the Netherlands and Spain year-round. In the summer, they are also imported from Hungary, and from Egypt during the winter months if the harvest in Spain and the Netherlands is insufficient.

The fruit is very colorful. Its color indicates the degree of ripeness. Red, orange, yellow, brown, and white are the ripe varieties. Green, black, and purple are the unripe ones. Peppers are very versatile. They can be used cooked, raw, as a spice, in pastes, and in sauces.
They have a sweet flavor when ripe. The unripe varieties, on the other hand, are somewhat bitter.

They are a good source of vitamin C and are also rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins A and B.
