    Stuffed pepper imageZeaxanthin, a key nutrient to good eye health, is found in none other than the lovely orange pepper. In fact, a study shows orange peppers have the highest amount of zeaxanthin of 33 fruits and vegetables tested. Furthermore, zeaxanthin can’t be made by your body, so you must get it from your diet. Want to lower your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration? Try getting lots of zeaxanthin in your diet!  To that end, here is a great  Stuffed Orange Pepper recipe from allrecipies.com, made with a healthy mixture of ground turkey, onion, tomatoes, rice, and cheese.  Enjoy!
