Cherry pepper

Cherry Pepper is a type of small, rounded pepper, known for its compact size and its sweet and slightly acidic flavor. Its skin is smooth and can vary in colors such as red, yellow, orange, or green, depending on the degree of ripeness.

This ingredient originates from the Americas and is especially popular in Mediterranean and Latin American cuisines for its versatility and the freshness it adds to preparations. The cherry pepper is frequently used in salads, side dishes, stir-fries, and as part of summer dishes due to its crunchy texture and pleasant flavor.

Regarding its properties, the cherry pepper is low in calories and rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C and antioxidants, which help strengthen the immune system and maintain healthy skin. It also provides fiber, which helps improve digestion.

In the Hispanic world, this ingredient can be found under different names, including cherry chili, cherry pepper, or simply cherry, although "cherry pepper" is the most widespread and recognized term in cooking recipes.
