Pepper facts - strange but true

I'm not sure, but I know that most peppers, when ripe, are very rich in Vitamin A. Mangoes, melons, oranges, basically any orange or yellow fruit is usually pretty high in Vitamin A. Peppers are also excellent sources of Vitamin C, Potassium, and B Vitamins. Technically, too, squash, tomatoes, and peppers are fruits, so you could count them, as well.

Well, most of the nightshade family in general is pretty high in Vitamin C, Calcium and Potassium, and peppers are a member of that group of plants

Peppers increase metabolism by 20% or higher. This can lead to improved weight loss.
I just wanted to focus on peppers only -
and that hot peppers are the highest source of Vitamin A - They beat all the other foods.
I though it was a neat fact.
