Pepperoncinis, also called Italian sweet peppers or Tuscan peppers, are small, thin chili peppers traditionally found in Mediterranean cuisine. With a mild heat and tangy flavor, they are often pickled and used to enhance salads, sandwiches, and antipasti platters. Originating from Italy and Greece, these peppers are a versatile ingredient that adds zest to dishes without overwhelming spiciness. Nutritionally, pepperoncinis are low in calories and fat, making them a guilt-free addition to meals. They provide small amounts of vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality, as well as dietary fiber for digestion. However, pickled varieties may contain higher sodium levels due to brining, so moderation is key for those watching salt intake. Whether enjoyed fresh or pickled, pepperoncinis brighten dishes with their distinctive taste and health-conscious attributes.
