About Peperoncini

Peperoncini, also known as Italian chili peppers, are a vibrant, mildly spicy variety of peppers commonly used in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. With a tangy flavor and crisp texture, these yellow-green peppers are often pickled and served as toppings for salads, pizzas, sandwiches, or antipasto platters. Nutritionally, peperoncini are low in calories and contain small amounts of vitamins A and C, which contribute to immune health and skin vitality. They also provide dietary fiber, aiding digestion. However, when pickled, peperoncini can be high in sodium—something to watch for if you're monitoring salt intake. Their slight capsaicin content, which gives them their mild heat, may offer metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory benefits. Originating from Italy and Greece, these peppers are a tasty way to add flavor without excessive heat, making them a versatile addition to a balanced diet.
