Studies show that 100 gr of Tribelli® peppers contains 2.5 times more vitamin C than 100 gr of oranges and they have a balanced sugar profile suitable for people with dietary restrictions and with high intestinal sensitivity.
At Enza Zaden, we believe healthy food should be both delicious and accessible. Our sweet pepper varieties, including Tribelli®, offer an exceptional nutritional profile that fits perfectly into modern lifestyles: full of flavour, naturally sweet, and easy to enjoy every day.
Research shows that sweet peppers can contain up to 2.5 times more vitamin C than oranges, making them one of the most powerful antioxidant-rich vegetables available today. Today, nutrition combined with natural genetic improvement techniques offers consumers varieties such as Tribelli®, our brand of sweet peppers, which can help people with high intestinal sensitivity or those who experience digestive discomfort when consuming vegetables.
According to Tâmmila Klug, our post-harvest researcher, the literature shows that consuming about 50 to 75 grams of the variety is enough to meet the daily recommended intake of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) for an adult. “The concentration of ascorbic acid in the fruit helps optimize the absorption of non-heme iron, found in beans and dark leafy greens, making it a strategic component in preventing iron-deficiency anemia,” the specialist explains.
Sweet peppers like Tribelli® stand out as an important source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and anthocyanins, all recognized for their significant contribution to antioxidant capacity. Klug explains that these phytochemicals play essential roles in promoting human health by reducing oxidative stress and modulating inflammatory processes linked to the development of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, certain types of cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions.
Tribelli® vibrant colours—from yellow to orange and red—come from carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin and beta‑carotene, known for their contribution to maintaining normal vision, a healthy immune system and the protection of body tissues.
Red and orange mini peppers are especially rich in beta‑carotene, making them an excellent addition to a balanced diet. “Consuming peppers of different colors is a smart strategy to obtain a broader and more diverse nutritional profile, taking advantage of the unique benefits associated with each natural pigment,” says Klug.
Tribelli® peppers are naturally sweet and are ideal for eating raw as a snack. Their naturally sweet flavor makes them suitable for children, adults, and anyone sensitive to irritating foods.
Because they contain plenty of water, fibre and B-vitamins, Tribelli® peppers are a great choice for supporting digestion, energy and overall daily balance.
Our Tribelli Assortment include different options adapting to both consumers and market need alike. From the original Tribelli® Mini to Tribelli® XL (for cooking), and the Organic line (focused on sustainable production systems), arriving to our most recent innovation: Tribelli® Seedless.
Tribelli® Seedless brings all the nutritional benefits of sweet peppers with an added advantage: a completely seedless experience. Designed for modern consumers who value health, but also convenience, without compromising on quality, Tribelli® Seedless offers a cleaner bite, no preparation time, and a naturally sweet flavour that appeals to children and adults alike. This seedless innovation fits perfectly into healthy snacking trends and encourage people to eat healthier.
