“I’ll show you pepper!” expresses impending spiciness in Nigerian lingo, a fitting tribute to what pepper brings when touched without caution. But there’s more to pepper than purgency that meets the eye (pun intended). 

What else do peppers bring? They contain low calories and are sources of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. You need all these nutrients, especially if you’re on a weight-loss journey. 

Their sizes may not define them, but their colors have a say. Typically, red means mature or ripe. Green, yellow, orange, and brown are unripe. Depending on your love for colors and the intensity of fragrance you want, unripe peppers are still fit for cooking.
