Mixed Capsicum Rice

Capsicum or Bell pepper as it also known comes in different colours, green, yellow, orange and red. and they not only come in different colours, they come with benefits aplenty!

'The various coloured capsicums all come from the same plant, but differ in their level of maturity. Most capsicums turn red on ripening, but there are also yellow, orange. As the fruit ripens, it loses some of the sharpness of green capsicums and becomes sweeter and more nutritious. The bright pigments in capsicums are not only beautiful, they’re part of the reason these fine vegetables are so good for you. Each pigment is an important phytochemical that helps protect cells from damage'
