Is there any nutritional value in Pepper?

Yes,according to chilli farm,the nutritional value of capsicums lies in their vitamin content.
Vitamins A, C and E are present in sweet and hot chilli peppers,
the sweet having particularly large amounts.
As a matter of fact, 1 ounce of raw sweet pepper contains
approximately 40 mg of Vitamin C, which is two thirds
of the recommended daily intake of that vitamin. Continue


However, chilli peppers and sweet peppers lose their vitamin content
when they are cooked or pickled, or if they are allowed to ripen too much.
Scientists say that chillis add more than just flavour to the diet.
Capsaicin stimulates the appetite, helps to clear the lungs,
improves circulation and acts as a painkiller for rheumatoid arthritis sufferers.
Capsaicin, once ingested, causes the brain to release endorphins into the
bloodstream which can induce a natural feeling of well being similar to that
achieved by long distance runners. If you ever wondered why long distance
runners seem to enjoy running, just eat a few nice hot chillis and experience the feeling for yourself
