About Pimiento verde

Known for its vibrant color and crisp texture, the pimiento verde, commonly referred to as green bell pepper, is a versatile vegetable with origins in Central and South American cuisine. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants, it supports immune health, improves skin, and strengthens bones. Low in calories and fat, green bell peppers are ideal for weight management and heart health. They are also a good source of fiber, aiding digestion. Their slightly bitter flavor makes them perfect for sautéing, stuffing, or fresh salads. Green bell peppers should be consumed fresh for maximum nutrient retention, as cooking can reduce their vitamin content. While generally healthy, some people may experience digestive discomfort when consumed raw in large amounts. A staple in global cuisines, from fajitas to stir-fries, green bell peppers are a nutritious and flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
