PIQUILLO and SWEET PEPPER, The Stars
Canned peppers
In terms of preservation, canned peppers, such as bell peppers or piquillo peppers, retain their nutritional value thanks to the preservation process used, which includes salt, vinegar, and olive oil. These ingredients can add an extra touch of flavor and benefits, although the sodium content should be taken into account. Overall, preserved peppers offer a practical and healthy alternative for those looking to simplify their diet without giving up essential nutrients.
The piquillo pepper, widely recognized in Spanish cuisine, is another example of how canned products can maintain their quality. This pepper is known for its sweet and slightly spicy flavor, as well as its tender and fleshy texture, making it ideal for consuming on its own or as an ingredient in various dishes. While the preservation process may add certain ingredients such as sugar or citric acid, these do not significantly affect the nutritional benefits of canned peppers. However, this changes if we choose stuffed peppers, which often contain fish, seafood, or meat. These ingredients modify their nutritional content.
