About Pimento spread

Pimento spread is a creamy, flavorful mixture that typically combines shredded cheese, mayonnaise, and diced pimentos, a type of small red pepper, along with optional seasonings like garlic, paprika, or cayenne for added depth. Originating in the Southern United States, this beloved condiment is often served as a dip, sandwich filling, or topping for crackers and vegetables. The spread is rich in protein and calcium due to its cheese base, but it can also be high in saturated fat and sodium depending on the recipe. Using low-fat cheese or a healthier mayo alternative can make it a lighter option. Pimentos contribute subtle sweetness and provide small amounts of vitamins A and C. While indulgent, pimento spread can be enjoyed in moderation as a comforting appetizer or snack that celebrates Southern culinary tradition.
