About Shawarma
Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish made from thin slices of marinated meat, traditionally lamb, chicken, beef, or turkey, cooked on a rotating spit and shaved off for serving. It is often wrapped in flatbread such as pita or served as a platter alongside rice, salad, and sauces like tahini or garlic sauce. Accompanied by fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce, shawarma can be a balanced meal rich in protein and fiber. The meat is seasoned with a blend of spices including cumin, paprika, and turmeric, imparting a deeply flavorful taste. While shawarma provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins from the meat and vitamins from vegetables, it can be high in saturated fats and sodium depending on preparation. Choosing lean meat options and pairing it with light sauces can make it a healthier choice within this savory and globally popular dish.
