About Chawrma
Chawrma, often spelled "shawarma," is a popular Middle Eastern dish made of thinly sliced spiced meat, typically beef, lamb, or chicken, cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The meat is seasoned with a blend of spices like cumin, turmeric, paprika, and garlic, which lend its signature flavor. It's commonly served in flatbread such as pita or lavash, accompanied by toppings like tahini, garlic sauce, vegetables, and pickles. Chawrma offers a good source of protein and, depending on preparation, can include beneficial nutrients like fiber and vitamins from fresh vegetables. However, it can also be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat, especially if eaten with creamy sauces or fried additions. For a healthier option, choose leaner cuts of meat, whole-grain wraps, and limit high-calorie condiments. This flavorful dish, beloved across the globe, represents the richness and diversity of Middle Eastern street food culture.
