About Pepperoncinis

Pepperoncinis, also known as pickled Italian peppers, are small, mildly spicy chili peppers native to the Mediterranean region, often associated with Italian and Greek cuisine. They have a vibrant green or yellow hue and are usually brined, giving them a tangy, zesty flavor that's perfect for salads, pizzas, sandwiches, or antipasto platters. These peppers are low in calories, fat, and carbohydrates, making them a guilt-free addition to meals. Packed with vitamin C, they also provide some antioxidant benefits, supporting immune health and combating free radical damage. Additionally, they contain small amounts of fiber and capsaicin, which can aid digestion and metabolism. However, due to their pickled nature, they tend to be high in sodium, which can be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Enjoy pepperoncinis in moderation as a delicious and piquant way to enhance a dish's flavor and nutritional value.
