Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Bell peppers, regardless of their color, provide vitamin C also called ascorbic acid. Choosing vitamin C-rish foods keeps gums and blood vessels healthy.
  • tip 2
    Caribbean jerk seasoning, sold in the supermarket spice aisle, is a blend that usually contains red pepper, thyme and allspice; it sometimes includes sugar and other spices.
