About Schug
Schug, also spelled zhug, is a vibrant, spicy green or red condiment originating from Yemen and widely used in Middle Eastern cuisine. Made primarily from fresh chili peppers, garlic, cilantro, and spices like cumin, coriander, and cardamom, it is blended with olive oil to create a versatile paste or dip. Schug is low in calories and rich in antioxidants, thanks to its cilantro and chili components. It also provides healthy fats from olive oil, which can support heart health. However, due to its high spice level, it may irritate sensitive stomachs or individuals with acid reflux. Schug adds a bold kick to dishes like falafel, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or hummus, making it a flavorful way to enhance meals while incorporating nutrient-dense ingredients. Perfect for those seeking a fiery, aromatic addition, it exemplifies the bold and fresh flavors of Middle Eastern cooking.
