Pepper paste is a flavorful condiment made by blending red peppers into a smooth, concentrated spread, often with ingredients like olive oil, salt, garlic, and sometimes chili for added heat. It originates from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, where it is used to add depth and vibrant color to dishes such as marinades, soups, stews, and dips. Rich in vitamins A and C, pepper paste provides antioxidants essential for immune support and skin health. Additionally, it contains capsaicin, which can boost metabolism when made with chili peppers. While it’s relatively low in calories, some store-bought varieties may include added sodium or preservatives, which should be considered for those monitoring sodium intake. A versatile and delicious option, pepper paste can elevate a variety of recipes, but moderation is key for a balanced diet. Look for natural, minimally processed versions when possible.
