About Chilli paste

Chilli paste is a flavorful condiment made from blended chili peppers, often combined with garlic, oil, vinegar, and varying spices like cumin or paprika. Its origins trace back to several cuisines, including Asian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern, where it enhances dishes with heat and depth. Variations of chilli paste can range from mild to extremely spicy, depending on the variety of chili used. It is rich in capsaicin—known for boosting metabolism and providing anti-inflammatory benefits. Chilli paste also contains vitamins A and C, promoting healthy skin and immune function. However, due to its salt content and the potential use of oils, moderation is key, especially for individuals monitoring their sodium or fat intake. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for marinades, dips, and sauces, adding boldness to any meal.
