What is this food?
Pimiento (bell pepper), cooked or prepared as a vegetable. It’s low in calories and usually eaten as part of viands or mixed with other ingredients.
Why it matters to health
Pimiento helps your meals feel lighter while adding fiber (1.4 g per 100 g) for better digestion and fuller feeling. It also provides carbohydrates in a small amount and low fat (about 0.5 g) with very little saturated fat. The sodium is also low (about 10 mg), which is helpful for everyday eating. It has some natural sugar (2 g), but the fiber helps balance it. Since it’s a veggie, it supports a balanced plate alongside rice and protein.
Healthier tips
- For your 3 meals + 1–2 snacks a day, include pimiento as part of your ulam or mixed vegetable side. Aim for about 1–2 servings of vegetables per meal (for example, a palm-sized portion of cooked veggies). If it’s prepared with lots of oil, cheese, or salty sauces, keep the sauce/oil portion smaller and pair it with leaner viands. To make it more filling, combine pimiento with other veggies and add a good protein (fish, chicken, tofu, or eggs).
