Food Facts:
Capsicums are from the nightshade family. They originated
in Central and South America. They come in an amazing array of
colours from bright red, yellows, oranges, purples and greens.
Capsicums can be eaten in their raw form or they can be cooked.
They range from very mild spiciness to extremely hot! Most
species of capsicums contain capsaicin which is the chemical that
causes the hot burning sensation when they are eaten. They are good
sources of vitamin C.
Carrots are native to Afghanistan. They used to have a yellow flesh
and a purple exterior. Carrots were first grown as a medicine
and not a food. Just one carrot supplies enough vitamin A for an entire day.
In fact, they have the highest Vitamin A content of any vegetable. Carrots have high levels of the anti-oxidant beta carotene which is
reputed to help fight cancer and may reduce the risk of prostate
cancer in men.
