Bell Peppers
(8 mos.)
Although peppers come in many colors, the red variety has the highest nutrient value and contains lycopene. Bell peppers are a great source of vitamin B6 which contributes to the formation of red blood cells and brain development; vitamin A strengthens your child’s eyesight, and folate is a staple for expectant moms. Green bell peppers mature to the yellow & red ones, each having a unique flavor. This makes them a great ingredient to experiment with in any dish and will capture your child’s interest in the food they eat.
