Look at all this Vit C... did you know a 1/2 cup red pepper contains 95 mg of this anti-stress nutrient?
When faced with a stressful situation, your vitamin C stores are rapidly used up. Your adrenal glands "panic" when they don't have enough vitamin C available, and, release MORE cortisol. When it gets into the bloodstream, it is responsible for relaying the news of stress to all parts of the body and mind. Among other effects, frequent exposure to high levels of stress hormones exhausts the body's physical resources, impairs learning and memory, and makes people more susceptible to depression. When you are low on "C" everything starts to feel like a chore. This is 4 bags of peppers ($2 a bag), then dehydrated. I use them in my rice cooker for rice or quinoa along with dehydrated celery and onions. It's perfect. We should be good on the peppers for a couple of years now. They are really great just like this but I do enjoy fresh red papers on occasion of course. I store the peppers in a glass jar.
