HOME COMPANY PRODUCTS CONTACT ENGLISH PEPPERS Home » Peppers Peppers The pepper is a herbaceous plant, perennial in natural conditions, but cultivated as an annual in most cases, due to its susceptibility to frost and chilling damage. These annuals have a shrubby habit and reach 75 cm in height. The stem presents dichotomous branching and on the branches there are medium-sized, whole, oval-oblong leaves, glabrous and of an intense green color. The flowers are perfect and appear solitary in the axils of the branches; they are small (1 cm), with toothed calyx, five white petals and yellowish-blue or purple anthers. El fruto de la especie es una baya de características muy variables, con pesos que fluctúan entre unos pocos gramos hasta medio kilo, la forma varía entre redonda, acorazonada, aguzada, cilíndrica y cuadrada, con color externo de blanco a negro, aunque predominan los colores amarillos, verdes y rojos. Propiedades El pimiento destaca por su alto contenido en vitamina C y vitamina B6, la cual es fundamental tanto para la parte cerebral como para el sistema nervioso central en sí. Destaca también por su alto contenido en betacaroteno (que al entrar en el organismo se transforma en vitamina A) y vitaminas del grupo B2 (además de vitamina E). Por ello, es ideal para prevenir la aparición de enfermedades degenerativas y crónicas. Specifically, beta-carotene helps prevent cancer, brain bleeds, cataracts, and heart disease.
