Ajika is a traditional spicy condiment originating from the Caucasus region, particularly Georgia and Abkhazia. It is made from ingredients like red chili peppers, garlic, walnuts, herbs, and spices such as coriander and fenugreek, all blended into a thick paste. Ajika is celebrated for its bold, smoky flavor and vibrant aroma, enhancing dishes ranging from grilled meats to vegetables. Rich in antioxidants from chili peppers and garlic, Ajika offers potential health benefits, such as supporting immune function and improving digestion. However, its high sodium content, due to added salt, can be a concern for those monitoring blood pressure or sodium intake. Typically free from artificial additives, Ajika is a flavorful, natural way to introduce spice and warmth to meals, reflecting its deep roots in Caucasian culinary traditions.
