Bell peppers are colourful, attractive and  highly nutritious. They are  frequently used both chopped and raw in salads, or cooked in stir-fries or other mixed dishes.

Its species are native to the Americas, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years.

Now it has become cultivated worldwide, and it has also become a key element in many cuisines.

In addition to use as spices and food vegetables, Capsicum species have also been used as medicines and lachrymatory agents
The fruit of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type. The piquant (spicy) varieties are commonly called chili peppers, or simply "chillies". The large, mild form is called red pepper, green pepper, or bell pepper in North America and United Kingdom and typically "capsicum" in New Zealand,[8] Australia, Singapore and India. The fruit is called paprika in some other countries (although paprika can also refer to the powdered spice made from various capsicum fruit).

They have more Vitamin C than an orange, and a typical bell pepper contains more than 100% of the daily recommended value for Vitamin C. They also have relatively high amounts of Vitamin B 6. Fresh fruit is 94% water. 

 They are suitable for stuffing with fillings such as cheese, meat, or rice (Wikipedia)
