Adzhika in translation from Georgian means "salt". It is said that once Georgian shepherds used salt as an additive. They gave it to the animals to make them take more water and feed and, accordingly, gain weight faster. And later, salt began to be grinded with various spicy herbs and pepper.
Today, ajika began to be prepared on the basis of tomatoes and peppers. As one of the varieties of seasoning is raw ajika. Its main feature is that it does not require cooking, so it does not lose the main flavor notes: garlic flavor and pepper sharpness.
