About Pimientos
Pimientos, also known as pimento peppers, are a type of mild chili pepper with a sweet and vibrant flavor. These red, heart-shaped peppers originate from Spain and are commonly used in Mediterranean, Spanish, and Southern cuisines. They’re a key ingredient in dishes like stuffed olives, pimento cheese, and stews. Nutritionally, pimientos are low in calories and rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality. They also contain beneficial antioxidants that help combat free radicals. Pimientos are typically preserved in jars or cans, which may include added sodium, so it’s important to check labels if monitoring salt intake. Their sweetness and adaptability make them a healthy way to add flavor and color to a variety of recipes without adding excessive spice. Whether roasted, diced, or puréed, pimientos are a versatile choice for enhancing dishes both nutritionally and aesthetically.
