Banana peppers, a mild chili pepper variety, are vibrant yellow-green and commonly found in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. Their tangy, slightly sweet flavor makes them a popular choice for salads, sandwiches, and pickling. Low in calories yet high in essential nutrients, banana peppers are a good source of vitamins A, C, and B6, which support immune health, skin health, and energy metabolism. They also provide dietary fiber to aid digestion and small amounts of potassium to support heart health. With minimal fat and sodium, they are a heart-conscious addition to meals, particularly when fresh. However, pickled banana peppers, while flavorful, may contain added sodium, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Whether enjoyed fresh, roasted, or pickled, banana peppers are a nutritious and versatile ingredient to enhance both the flavor and nutritional content of your dishes.
