Ajvar sauce is a flavorful Balkan condiment traditionally made from roasted red bell peppers and eggplants, with garlic, oil, and seasonings such as salt and vinegar. Originating from Southeastern European cuisine, particularly Serbia and Macedonia, its vibrant color and smoky taste make it a versatile accompaniment for breads, grilled meats, or vegetables. Ajvar is rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber due to its primary ingredients, offering health benefits like immune support and digestive health. While typically low in calories, its nutritional profile can vary based on the amount of oil used during preparation, which could add significant fat content. Homemade varieties are often healthier than store-bought versions, which may include preservatives or added sugars. Ajvar is an excellent way to introduce bold flavors into meals while providing a nutrient boost when consumed in moderation.
