Bell Pepper

	1 cup of chopped bell pepper provides more than 100% of the daily recommended allowance of vitamins A and C. The bell pepper adds great visual appeal to any recipe, nice crunch, and juiciness.

Salsa Making Tips -
Black Beans

	Black beans come in canned variety and dried. Keeping both in the pantry is an excellent option. Look for sales and stock up as they have a long shelf life. Black beans are loaded with vegetable proteins and are an ideal substitute for meat in chili and other dishes.
