Cherry peppers, also known as pimiento or cherry bomb peppers, are small, vibrant red peppers with a rounded shape. Native to the Americas, they are commonly used in Italian cuisine and pickling recipes due to their sweet, tangy flavor and mild to moderate heat. These peppers are a rich source of vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality, as well as antioxidants that combat free radicals. They are low in calories and contain small amounts of dietary fiber, aiding digestion. However, cherry peppers can be high in sodium when pickled, so moderation is key for those monitoring sodium intake. Their versatility makes them a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and stuffed appetizers, providing both flavor and nutritional benefits. Whether fresh or preserved, cherry peppers are a delicious, nutrient-packed option for spicing up meals.
