Palermo peppers, also known as sweet Italian peppers, are a vibrant variety of elongated red peppers highly prized in Mediterranean cuisine. Native to Italy, they feature a delightfully sweet and mild flavor, making them a versatile ingredient for roasting, grilling, or stuffing. These peppers are a rich source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin A, which support immune health and eye function. They also provide dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, promoting heart health and aiding digestion. Unlike bell peppers, Palermo peppers have thinner skin and fewer seeds, making them easier to prepare. Low in calories and free from fat, they are an excellent choice for those seeking a nutrient-packed addition to their meals. However, be mindful of preparation methods; frying or adding heavy sauces can increase calorie intake. Ideal for salads, pasta dishes, or as a snack, Palermo peppers bring flavor and nutrition to any plate.
