Stuffed Pepper

This stuffed pepper is low in saturated fat and a good source of fibre which will keep you fuller for longer. Tomatoes are a good source of Vitamin A and C which helps to protect cells and tissue and also helps to keep them healthy.  They are also a good source of thiamine, niacin, folate, magnesium and copper. The combination of peppers and tomatoes can contribute towards one of your five portions fruit/vegetables per day. The parmesan cheese is a good source of phosphorus, and a very good source of protein and calcium for healthy bones and teeth.
