{"product_id":"paprika-gedroogd-papegaaienvoer","title":"Dried red bell pepper","description":"\u003cp\u003eRed bell peppers don’t really need any help to stand out. Their bright color does the job all by itself... even when the pepper ends up dried in the food bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur dried red pepper pieces have a mildly sweet flavor and a firm, crunchy texture from the drying process. You can serve them dry, mix them with other natural ingredients, or briefly soak them if your parrot prefers a softer piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere does that red color come from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color of red peppers comes from natural plant pigments in the carotenoid group. This group also includes beta-carotene, the plant-based precursor to vitamin A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDried red peppers naturally contain a generous amount of beta-carotene. They also contain plant-based protein and fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo added coloring... the pepper takes care of that all by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDried means more concentrated\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFresh peppers consist largely of water. Most of it disappears during drying. As a result, 100 grams of dried product has a much more concentrated composition than fresh peppers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can see this, for example, in the amounts of carbohydrates, fiber and protein. That’s why we deliberately use average nutritional values for dried red peppers for this product, rather than those for the fresh vegetable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom crunchy to soft\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDried peppers have a very different texture from fresh ones. A small piece can be held, nibbled or picked out from other foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’d like to mix things up, you can also soak the bell pepper pieces briefly in warm water. They’ll absorb moisture and become softer. Let them cool completely before offering them, and remove any damp leftovers from the food bowl promptly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVegetables don’t have to be the same every day\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDried vegetables make it easy to offer a variety of colors, flavors and textures side by side. A few pieces of red bell pepper next to broccoli, carrot or beetroot can quickly transform a food bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd of course, it’s up to your parrot to decide which color gets gobbled up first today... we have surprisingly little say in that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAverage nutritional values per 100 g\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnergy 1180 kJ \/ 282 kcal | Fat 3 g | Carbohydrates 55 g | Of which sugars 30 g | Fiber 18 g | Protein 12 g | Beta-carotene 19,000 µg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eAverage values for dried red bell pepper.
