Long hot peppers are slender, mildly spicy chili peppers commonly used in Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. With their vibrant green or red hues, these peppers add a subtle heat and depth of flavor to dishes, from sandwiches and pizzas to roasted vegetable sides. Nutritionally, long hot peppers are low in calories and rich in vitamins A and C, supporting immune health and promoting good vision. They also contain capsaicin, a compound linked to anti-inflammatory properties and potential metabolism-boosting effects. While their heat intensity is milder than other chili peppers, they can still provide a fiery bite that some may find overwhelming in large quantities. Long hot peppers are a versatile and nutritious ingredient, perfect for adding a punch of flavor to a variety of savory recipes.
