About Piquillo peppers

Piquillo peppers are small, sweet red peppers traditionally grown in the Navarra region of Spain. Known for their vibrant color and delicate smoky flavor, they are a staple in Spanish cuisine, often used in tapas, stuffed recipes, or roasted as a flavorful side dish. Low in calories and fat, piquillo peppers are a nutritious addition to any plate. They are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, which support immune health, digestion, and overall wellness. These peppers contain minimal sugar compared to other varieties, making them a healthy alternative in recipes. Piquillo peppers are typically preserved in jars or cans, which may include added sodium, so it’s advisable to check labels or opt for rinsing to reduce salt content. Easy to prepare and full of nutrients, piquillo peppers offer both great taste and health benefits while embodying the essence of Mediterranean cooking.
