Description

Mini sweet peppers are small fruits from the Capsicum annuum plant, known for their mild and very sweet flavor, lacking the spiciness characteristic of other peppers. They have thin, shiny skin and are ideal for eating raw, roasted, stuffed, or as a colorful complement in various culinary preparations.

This ingredient is native to Central America and Mexico, although it is now cultivated in many regions of the world due to its popularity in Mediterranean and Latin American cuisine.

Mini sweet peppers are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, making them a healthy option to add flavor and texture to recipes without adding spiciness or many calories.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, mini sweet peppers are also known as cherry peppers, mini bell peppers, small bell peppers, or simply small sweet peppers.
