About Yemeni schug

Yemeni Schug, also known as Zhug, is a vibrant and spicy condiment hailing from Yemeni cuisine. Made from fresh chili peppers, garlic, cilantro, parsley, and a blend of warming spices like cumin and cardamom, Schug is traditionally combined with olive oil to create a bold and aromatic paste. This versatile sauce is commonly used to enhance dishes in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, adding heat and complexity to meats, vegetables, or bread. Rich in antioxidants from herbs and spices and healthy fats from olive oil, Schug offers nutritional benefits that support heart health and reduce inflammation. However, its high spice level may not be suitable for individuals sensitive to capsaicin or prone to gastrointestinal discomfort. Vibrant and piquant, Yemeni Schug remains a beloved staple for adding zest and healthful flair to meals.
