Red Pepper One Pot Wonder

Red peppers contain 300% of your daily required Vitamin C intake, twice that of green peppers which is interesting to note. Vitamin C is not only a powerful antioxidant but also helps with the absorption of iron especially important for women. They are also a great source of Vitamin B6 which is a natural diuretic to prevent bloating and helps to break down and digest proteins, and form red blood cells.
