Tapas peppers, often known as Padrón or shishito peppers, are a small, vibrant green variety originating from Spain and often featured in Mediterranean cuisine. They are famous for their mild and occasionally spicy flavor, making them perfect for appetizers or side dishes. These peppers are typically sautéed, blistered, or grilled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt for a simple and flavorful preparation. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants, Tapas peppers support skin health, immunity, and bone strength. They are low in calories, fat-free, and contain dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion. However, the addition of oils and salts during cooking can increase calorie content and sodium levels, so moderation is key. Their playful unpredictability, with occasional spicy surprises, adds excitement to the dining experience while offering a nutrient-dense option rooted in Spanish tradition.
