About Sambal roa

Sambal Roa is a traditional Indonesian chili paste originating from Manado, North Sulawesi. It is made by blending smoked roa fish (a type of mackerel), red chili peppers, shallots, garlic, tomatoes, and oil. This flavorful condiment is known for its smoky and spicy profile, making it a staple in Manadonese cuisine. Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the roa fish, Sambal Roa offers nutritional benefits that support heart health and brain function. However, its high sodium content from added salt and the oil used in preparation may be a concern for those managing blood pressure or calorie intake. Often paired with rice, noodles, or vegetables, Sambal Roa enhances meals with its bold taste while delivering essential nutrients in moderation.
