Banana peppers are mild, tangy chili peppers with a sweet, slightly tart flavor, low in calories and often pickled, stuffed, or used in salads and sandwiches.
Banana peppers are mild, tangy chili peppers named for their long, curved, banana-like shape and pale yellow color. They have a sweet, slightly tart flavor with very little heat, making them a popular choice for people who want pepper flavor without spiciness. Banana peppers are often pickled and used as a topping, but they can also be stuffed, sliced into salads, or added to sandwiches.
Nutritionally, banana peppers are low in calories and provide vitamin C and dietary fiber. Because they deliver a bright, tangy flavor for very few calories, they are a useful ingredient in calorie-conscious cooking.
