Example

Que hablen lo que quieran: me importa un pimiento.

When to use it

Someone tries to shame you for not following a trend and you dismiss it completely.

What it means

Literally, it means "It matters to me a pepper," using a pepper as something of little value.
In practice, it means "I don't care at all," similar to "I couldn't care less." It's a mild, everyday way to express indifference, less aggressive than stronger versions like "me importa una mierda." There are many variants with other objects/foods ("un comino," "un pepino"), all meaning the same vibe.

Don't confuse it with

"Me importa un pimiento" does not mean i like peppers, i am dead worried, to ask for more details. It specifically means "I don't care at all".
