There are many recipes for good ajvar and each stands out for some small difference, but all types of ajvar have one thing in common: ajvar, because of the ingredients from which it is made, is extremely rich in all kinds of nutrients, is an ally of digestion, stimulates the digestive tract, softens the stool, prevents constipation ... Every day we should eat at least 3 teaspoons of ajvar. You can have the spicy one too. It's even better!

Lots of vitamin C
Ajvar is, after all, made from peppers, so it's to be expected that it contains a huge amount of vitamin C. Even more than in any other citrus fruit. If you can, in the morning with your soft-boiled egg, rather have a spoonful of ajvar. You will do more for your health this way than if you eat a slice of bread.

Lots of vitamin A
It is generally known that all foods that are orange-red in color have lots of vitamin A. Vitamin A helps protect the heart and blood vessels. More and more research is being done on how it can help us overcome, or at least recover more easily from, annoying viruses like covid, flu, and others.

Lots of vitamin B2 and folic acid
The eggplants in ajvar are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, which mainly improve digestive health. Among all spreads, ajvar contains the most B-complex vitamins.

It contains no calories
A very important trait of every good spread is that it has few, or even better, no calories. Ajvar almost doesn't contain any. Peppers for ajvar are usually lightly roasted, then fried ... The nutritional value drops a lot, but the fibers and minerals remain, which are the key elements of any healthy diet.

What does this mean?

Make sure that this autumn you eat as much ajvar and as little bread and other carbohydrates as possible. If you can, eat ajvar alone, by the spoonful ... You'll quickly understand why this is one of our grandmothers' favorite winter preserves.

Don't forget about ajvar!
