About Chili paste

Chili paste is a thick, flavorful condiment made by blending chili peppers with ingredients like garlic, oil, vinegar, salt, and occasionally sugar or spices. A staple in cuisines worldwide, it is particularly popular in Asian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern dishes, adding heat and depth to recipes. Depending on the type of chili used, it ranges from mildly spicy to intensely hot. Nutritionally, chili paste is low in calories and contains capsaicin, a compound in chili peppers known for its metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. It also provides small amounts of vitamins A and C. While it can be a healthy way to enhance flavor, some varieties may be high in sodium or include added sugars and should be consumed in moderation. Its bold, spicy profile makes it a versatile addition to marinades, stir-fries, and dipping sauces.
