About Lutenitsa

Lutenitsa is a traditional Bulgarian relish made from roasted red peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and sometimes eggplant or carrots, seasoned with salt, sugar, and vinegar. This rich, smoky spread is a staple in Bulgarian cuisine, often served as a condiment, dip, or accompaniment to bread, cheese, or grilled meats. Packed with antioxidants like vitamin C from the peppers and lycopene from the tomatoes, lutenitsa offers some nutritional benefits, supporting immune health and combating free radicals. It’s typically low in fat and can be a flavorful addition to meals without excessive calories. However, some versions may contain added sugar or higher amounts of salt, which could be a concern for those monitoring their sodium intake or trying to reduce added sugars. Always check the ingredients if buying pre-made or enjoy a homemade version for greater control over its healthfulness.
