Red Curry Paste

Red curry paste is a spicy seasoning blend commonly made from red chilies, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, shallots, and spices, sometimes with shrimp paste. It is used in small amounts to add heat and aromatic flavor to curries, soups, and stir-fries.

Beneficial properties

flavor-dense seasoning contains antioxidant-rich spices may support palatability low in calories in small servings

Nutritional highlights

Red curry paste typically provides small amounts of vitamin A from red chilies and trace amounts of minerals and phytonutrients from herbs, spices, and aromatics, but sodium can be significant depending on the product.

Caution. Often high in sodium and can be irritating for people with gastritis, reflux, or sensitivity to spicy foods; some versions contain shrimp or fish allergens.
