I learned it from my Hungarian friends to have a raw paprika (or bell pepper) for breakfast, lunch and dinner! It might feel strange at first eating it for breakfast, but it tastes great and it really makes me feel good & energized!
Paprika contains almost double the amount of vitamin C than orange. Orange is acidic (and so as all fruits except lemon & lime), so it's not as healthy anyway. Paprika may even be cheaper!
Vitamin C boosts iron absorption from leafy greens, so it's a great addition to salad!
Paprika comes in many different shapes, sizes and colors. A few is spicy, many are sweet. I think it's good to eat something a little spicy from time to time, so try mixing them up!
It's so easy to prepare! Wash it, cut it in half (or into more pieces), take out the stem and the seeds. Serve!
