About Peppers, sweet, red, canned, solids and liquids
Canned sweet red peppers, often sold as pimientos or roasted red peppers, are ripe red bell or cherry peppers that have been skinned, softened and packed in brine. Sweet and silky rather than crisp, they bring a mellow, slightly smoky pepper flavor straight from the jar.
The pepper itself is very low in calories, about 18 per 100 grams, and naturally rich in vitamin C and the red carotenoids. The thing to watch is the packing brine, which can push sodium past 1,300 milligrams per 100 grams in the solids-and-liquid form; draining and rinsing removes a good share of it.
They are the red fleck in pimento cheese and stuffed olives, and a soft, sweet addition to sandwiches, antipasto plates, pasta and rice dishes.
