Vegetables are most nutritious when they are in season. It is said that seasonal vegetables are packed with nutrients that the body needs at that time. Now is the time to enjoy summer vegetables. It is colorful and has a strong taste, and is full of vitamins that tend to be consumed during the summer. In addition, eating summer vegetables can be expected to have the effect of cooling the body that has been flushed by the heat.

You can eat a lot of raw green peppers,” says chef Rinko Shizuno. Once they learned how delicious it was, it became a standard summer dish.

Raw green peppers are surprisingly easy to eat by cooling them slowly!

In addition, it contains a lot of beta-carotene, which has an antioxidant effect, potassium, which promotes the excretion of sodium in the body, dietary fiber, and vitamin E.

“The problem with vitamin C is that it breaks down easily when heated, but this time I eat raw green peppers as they are, so I can take in nutrients efficiently. Especially children may not like it.However, when it is chilled, the bitterness disappears and the sweetness comes out, making it juicy. Once you eat it, you will never forget it.” (Mr. Shizuno)
