Cubanelle peppers

Cubanelle Peppers are a type of medium-sized, elongated sweet pepper, characterized by their smooth, shiny skin and their intense red color when ripe. They are highly valued in cooking for their mild, slightly sweet flavor and crunchy texture, making them perfect for roasting, stuffing, or using in salads and side dishes.

This pepper originated in Italy, where it is part of the sweet pepper family, but its cultivation has spread with great success to various regions of Latin America, thanks to its versatility and climate adaptability.

In terms of their properties, Cubanelle peppers are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, which helps strengthen the immune system and improve digestion, in addition to providing a low calorie content to dishes.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: in some regions they are also known as cubanelle peppers, cubanelle chili, or simply sweet chili, although the latter term can refer to other types of sweet peppers.
