About Shito
Shito is a flavorful Ghanaian condiment made from a blend of smoked or dried fish, shrimp, hot peppers, onions, tomatoes, garlic, and a variety of spices. Its name translates to "pepper" in Ga, reflecting its bold, spicy profile. Shito is often enjoyed as a versatile pairing with rice, grilled meats, fish, or bread. It provides protein from the dried fish and shrimp, along with vitamins from the tomatoes and peppers. The chili peppers in Shito are rich in capsaicin, which may boost metabolism and promote circulation. However, Shito is typically cooked in generous amounts of oil, which can make it calorie-dense and high in fats, depending on the recipe. While it offers an abundance of flavor and nutrients, moderation in serving size is recommended for those monitoring fat and caloric intake.
