Shatta has always been the perfect go-to condiment for when you need an effortless uplift to your meal. The benefit that the traditional version had, was that it was pure in ingredients and in flavour.
Fil’s Shatta - much like the traditional Shatta's we grew up with - is chillies, salt, a little acid and little extra virgin olive oil. It contains no added sugar, no thickeners, and no preservatives.
For someone who is eating less, or who is simply trying to eat clean, that matters more than it used to. For those on GLP-1’s specifically, where digestion is slowed and appetite is dialled down, this has created a new set of everyday questions:
What can I eat when I can only manage a few bites?
How can I keep meals interesting when appetite has dropped?
How can I avoid the sluggish, over-sweet food that made sense at a bigger portion size but doesn't sit well at a smaller one?
Why flavour matters more, when you’re eating less?
When you're eating less, every mouthful has to carry more weight. A bland small meal feels like a diet. A well-seasoned small meal feels like a meal. Simply put: food made for smaller appetites or for specific macros still has to taste like something.
Enter: Fil’s Shatta.
What makes Fil’s Shatta different from a typical condiment?
Most condiments earn their flavour and shelf stability from sugar, starch, lots of acid, or a long list of stabilisers. Even your favourite name-brand hot sauce, although low in fat and sugar, is either very high in acid or contains acetic acid or the like. Fil's Shatta is built different:
-
Clean, all natural ingredient lists - Just five ingredients. Peppers, chillies, salt, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil
-
Low in sugar - only natural sugars from the peppers and chillies
-
Low in fat - the only fat used is organic extra virgin olive oil
How to use Shatta on a smaller plate?
We’ve written a whole article showing you five different ways you can use Fil’s Shatta for small plates or snacks with clean eating in mind, without compromising on flavour.
In short though, Shatta perfectly complements eggs, cottage cheese, yoghurt or labneh, avocado, and more. Simply put: if your snack needs a hit of fresh flavour, add Shatta and we are certain you won’t be disappointed - it might even become a regular snack for you.
Which Fil Shatta should I start with?
Our fermented Shatta’s - Bird's Eye Shatta, Habanero Shatta, Jalapeno Shatta - are best if you’re looking for the most clean-label option, but our Shatta Hot Sauce and Shatta Verde are also great options. We love our Shatta Jam but as a jam it naturally has a high sugar content.
Mix and match, and choose how you Get Your Fil 🌶️
