About Skhug

Skhug is a spicy condiment originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Yemen. It is a popular addition to dishes in Israeli, Mediterranean, and regional Middle Eastern cooking. Made from fresh chili peppers, garlic, cilantro, cardamom, cumin, and olive oil, Skhug boasts bold, fiery flavors. The heat level can vary depending on the type and quantity of peppers used, and it comes in green and red varieties. Skhug is rich in antioxidants and vitamins from its fresh herbs and vegetables, particularly vitamin C from chilies and cilantro. Olive oil adds healthy monounsaturated fats, which support heart health. However, its high sodium content in some recipes and potential spiciness might not suit everyone, particularly those with sensitivities to capsaicin or dietary salt restrictions. A versatile and flavorful addition, Skhug is commonly paired with meats, pita, or roasted vegetables for an energizing flavor kick.
