About Suya
Suya is a popular West African dish consisting of thinly sliced, marinated meat—typically beef, chicken, or lamb—skewered and grilled over an open flame. Originating from Nigeria, it is a cornerstone of Hausa cuisine and beloved across the region. The marinade, known as "yaji," combines ground peanuts, chili pepper, ginger, garlic, and other aromatic spices, giving Suya its signature smoky, spicy flavor. High in protein and rich in essential nutrients like iron and zinc, Suya can be a nutritious choice when consumed in moderation. However, its healthiness depends on preparation; excessive oil or over-charring can introduce unhealthy fats and compounds. Pairing Suya with fresh vegetables or salads often seen in its traditional serving styles adds fiber and balance to the meal. Versatile and flavorful, Suya is both a cultural delight and a satisfying option for grilled meat enthusiasts.
