A new generation of parents will start to tell their children to "eat your orange peppers"! Orange peppers are loaded with zeaxanthin. Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid that is found in the macula, the center part of the retina, that is responsible for our reading and sighting vision. Orange peppers are also high in vitamin C.
Eating orange peppers regularly will nourish your body with the nutrients necessary to help prevent age-related macular degeneration.
Give these orange pepper boats a try.
