Just think of all the wonderful dishes you can create with this one, endlessly versatile garden vegetable. Whether it's mild, sweet, or hot, peppers add a spicy dimension to foods that would be bland and colorless without them. Good thing they're good for you, too, with the impressive amounts of vitamin A, C, K, thiamin, niacin, folate, copper and magnesium they offer.

 

While peppers vary somewhat in the health benefits they provide, there's no question – it's well worth trying several different types to experiment with the flavors, and actually feel good while doing it.
