Pimento, often called cherry pepper, is a small, red, heart-shaped chili pepper known for its mild flavor and slight sweetness. Native to Central and South America, pimentos are popular in Mediterranean and Southern cuisines, frequently used as a stuffing for olives and a key ingredient in pimento cheese. Packed with vitamins A and C, pimentos contribute to immune health and support skin and eye health. They also contain antioxidants and fiber, offering digestive benefits and protection against free radicals. Low in calories and fat, pimentos make a nutritious addition to dishes. However, commercially processed pimentos may include added sodium or preservatives, so choosing fresh or minimally processed options is recommended. Whether roasted, diced, or pureed, pimentos bring vibrant color and subtle flavor to recipes while promoting overall well-being.
