Good for you ... Capsicums
Capsicums

A top source of vitamin C, with just half an average-sized red capsicum supplying 4 times the recommended dietary intake of this important vitamin.

A good source of beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A and uses for normal functioning of the immune system.

Provides niacin (vitamin B3), which the body's cells need for the normal release of energy from food.
