Characteristics:
The pepperoni pepper is a slender, elongated, typically yellowish-green or red, thin-fleshed pepper that is mildly hot or sweet (delicatessen grade). It tolerates heat treatment well, making it ideal for pickling, slicing, preservation in vinegar and brine, and for the production of cold-kitchen products.
Due to its pleasantly spiced flavor and crunchy texture, it is widely used in the processing industry, primarily for pickles, pizza toppings, and antipasti products.
Nutritional Value / Benefits:
The pepperoni pepper is a vegetable with a high content of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and antioxidants, contributing to strengthening the immune system and cell protection. The capsaicin it contains has a natural metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory effect, and also supports circulation.
