Ajvar is a flavorful condiment originating from Balkan cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Serbia, North Macedonia, and Croatia. Made primarily from roasted red peppers, it often includes eggplants, garlic, and a touch of vinegar and oil, creating a rich, spreadable paste. Ajvar is traditionally served with grilled meats, bread, or as a topping for various dishes. Nutritionally, it is low in calories and contains beneficial vitamins like Vitamin C and antioxidants from the peppers. Its fiber content supports digestion, and when prepared with minimal oil, it can be a healthy addition to meals. However, store-bought versions might contain added salt and preservatives, which could impact sodium intake. For a healthier option, freshly-made ajvar allows control over ingredients, ensuring a more wholesome version of this iconic Balkan spread.
