About Pimientos de padron

Pimientos de Padrón are small green peppers originally from the Padrón region of Galicia, Spain. They are a staple in Spanish tapas and are typically fried in olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt. While most are mild, about one in ten surprises with a spicy kick. These peppers are low in calories and rich in vitamins C and E, antioxidants that support immune health and skin vitality. They're also a good source of dietary fiber and potassium. When prepared traditionally, the olive oil adds healthy fats, though the sodium from added salt can be a concern for those monitoring their intake. Perfect as a light snack or appetizer, Pimientos de Padrón are a flavorful way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of peppers while indulging in the culinary traditions of Spain.
