Sweet peppers are healthy to eat not only fresh, but also baked.
Elena Tikhomirova, a general practitioner and nutritionist at the SM-Clinic medical center, spoke about the benefits of baked peppers.
The expert's recommendations are provided by the Roskachestvo portal.
Which pepper is healthier: fresh or baked
By eating raw peppers, you get more vitamin C, which is destroyed by cooking.
Those who want to strengthen their immunity with vitamin C are better off eating fresh peppers.
Boiled and baked peppers are also very useful. Heat treatment destroys vitamin C, but increases the amount and bioavailability of beta-carotene (provitamin A).
Heat treatment also increases the activity of the antioxidant lycopene, which has anti-inflammatory, restorative and antitumor properties.
