About Pimento, canned
Canned pimento peppers are the sweet, mild red peppers best known for stuffing into green olives, though they do plenty of work on their own. The flesh is soft, slightly waxy, and very low in calories. Carbs are modest, fat is minimal, and the fiber content is reasonable for a canned vegetable. They lend sweetness and color to pimento cheese, deviled eggs, pasta salads, and casseroles. Since they come packed in water or brine, drain and pat them before using if you want to avoid excess liquid in a recipe.
