Cubanelle peppers, often referred to as Cuban peppers, are a sweet variety of chili pepper commonly used in Caribbean, Latin American, and Italian cuisines. With their mild flavor and thin walls, they are perfect for stuffing, sautéing, or adding to salads and stir-fries. Originating from the Caribbean region, these peppers are typically light green but can turn to shades of yellow or red as they ripen. Nutritionally, Cubanelle peppers are low in calories and fat, making them a heart-healthy choice for most diets. They are a good source of vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality, and they contain dietary fiber that aids digestion. They are also rich in antioxidants, helping combat oxidative stress. However, those sensitive to nightshade vegetables may want to moderate their intake. Overall, they’re a versatile and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
