Green Pepper Juice
Home » Vegetables » Green Pepper Juice
Traditionally Used For
| Arthritis | Circulation |
| Eyes | Hair Loss |
| High Blood Pressure | Skin Problems |
A Good Source Of
| Potassium | Silicon | Vitamin C |
Freshness Test
A good Green or Red Pepper is slightly shiny. Ideally, look for Green and Red Peppers that have not been waxed.
Important
Both Green and Red Peppers are considered a green juice. Therefore, you will find it beneficial to have no more than about ¼ of your juice consisting of green juice.
Since Green and Red Peppers have a strong flavor, you may want to reduce the amount used. You may find that ¼ of a pepper is all that is needed.
Do not confuse Green or Red Peppers with the hot and spicy peppers such as jalapenos. You do not want to juice the hot and spicy peppers.
General
I personally prefer Red Peppers to Green Peppers.
Red Peppers are Green Peppers that have been allowed to ripen fully. A pepper will not ripen any more once picked. Therefore, Red Peppers are allowed to ripen on the vine. Red Peppers will contain more Vitamin C and Vitamin A than Green Peppers.
You can also use Yellow or Black Peppers. These are simply different varieties of peppers. But generally speaking both Yellow and Black Peppers cost more.
