Harissa is a spicy, aromatic paste originating from North African cuisine, particularly Tunisia. It is made from a blend of red chili peppers, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and spices such as cumin, coriander, and caraway seeds. The bold and flavorful paste is commonly used as a condiment or ingredient to add heat and depth to dishes like stews, couscous, grilled meats, and vegetables. Harissa is rich in capsaicin from chili peppers, which may help boost metabolism and reduce inflammation. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, while garlic contains compounds linked to immune support. However, the sodium content can be high depending on preparation, so it should be consumed in moderation, especially by those monitoring their salt intake. Harissa is a versatile way to enhance meals, adding complexity and heat while offering some nutritious benefits when enjoyed mindfully.
