About Pepperocini

Pepperoncini, also known as Italian chili peppers or sweet peppers, are mild, tangy, and slightly sweet peppers commonly used in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. Originating from southern Europe, these small, greenish-yellow peppers are often pickled and add a zesty flavor to salads, sandwiches, and antipasto platters. Nutritionally, pepperoncini are low in calories, fat-free, and provide a good source of vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality. They also contain fiber, aiding in digestion. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for their mild heat, may boost metabolism and support heart health. However, when consumed pickled, they can be high in sodium, so it's best to enjoy them in moderation if you're monitoring your salt intake. Versatile and flavorful, pepperoncini are a healthy addition to many dishes, offering both taste and nutritional benefits.
