The Ingredients
Parsley
The essential ingredients in any Chimichurri recipe. This nutritional powerhouse is packed with the key vitamins A, B, C and K as well as iron and potassium.
This herb is also rich in antioxidants which make it excellent at preventing cell damage and lowering risks of common diseases like hypertension, diabetes and allergies.
Shallots
Garlic has been a staple of the human diet as far back as antiquity, and the Greeks and Romans even claimed they had aphrodisiac properties.
Rich in minerals, vitamins and trace elements, shallots are a wonderful food for a well balanced healthy diet.
Garlic
This is a great immune booster and combats illnesses including the common cold. Garlic contains antioxidants that may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
They are also a staple to making any recipe taste delicious so of course they feature in our rich flavour profile.
Jalapeno Peppers
These peppers bring more than a bright, slightly spicy kick to taste to the sauces.
They are antioxidant rich, including vitamin B6, important for optimal bodily functions and vitamin C known to fight free radicals that can prevent the mutation of healthy cells into cancerous ones.
Oregano
Another antioxidant rich ingredient that fights the negative effects of free radicals in the body.
When eaten in combination with other high antioxidant foods like artichokes, kale, beetroots or red cabbage, oregano can provide a hearty dose of antioxidant power that protects your body from potentially harmful chronic diseases.
Chillies
Like their cousins the jalapeno, chillies contain a bioactive compound that is responsible for their unique, pungent taste and antioxidant properties.
They also help the digestive tract, promote a healthy heart, reduce migraines, relieve joint pains and improve your metabolism. They also help fight flus, colds and allergies. What’s not to love!
