Bell Pepper (Yellow)

What is Bell Pepper (Yellow)?

Yellow bell pepper is a vibrant, sweet variety of bell pepper. It's known for its mild flavor and crisp texture. This vegetable belongs to the Capsicum family and is commonly used in salads, stir-fries, and as a colorful garnish. It is rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants.

Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Bell Pepper (Yellow)?

Intolerance to yellow bell pepper may result from a sensitivity to certain compounds in the pepper, such as solanine, which can cause digestive discomfort or other symptoms. Additionally, bell peppers belong to the nightshade family, which can trigger symptoms in some individuals with sensitivities or allergies to nightshades. Personal digestive issues, such as difficulty breaking down certain fibers or compounds in bell peppers, can also contribute to intolerance.

What Can I Do About It?

If you have an intolerance, consider avoiding yellow bell peppers and other nightshades to see if symptoms improve. Substitute with non-nightshade vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, or broccoli. Cooking bell peppers thoroughly may also reduce the compounds that can cause irritation.
