Red Bell Peppers + Black Beans

Red Bell Peppers + Black Beans = Improved Immunity

Eating more meatless meals lately to do your heart (and the planet) a favor? 
You’ll absorb more immune-boosting plant iron by adding in some red bell peppers. 


That’s because the iron in picks like beans exists in a form called non-heme iron that’s harder for your body to absorb than the iron found in red meat (heme iron). 

But, adding a dose of vitamin C-rich produce like red peppers converts the iron into a type that’s easier for the body to use.
