Ajika or adjika, (Georgian: აჯიკა, Abkhaz: аџьыка) is a Georgian hot, spicy, but subtly flavored dip, often used to flavor food.[1] In 2018, the technology of ajika was inscribed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Georgia list.[2]

Common varieties of ajika resemble Italian red pesto in appearance and consistency. Though it is usually red, green ajika is also made with unripe peppers.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
