About Crab paste

Crab paste is a flavorful condiment made primarily from cooked, mashed crab meat often combined with salt, oil, and seasonings like garlic, chili, or fermented ingredients for added depth. Popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Thai, Filipino, and Vietnamese dishes, it is used to enhance soups, curries, stir-fries, or as a savory spread. Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, crab paste offers nutritional benefits that support heart and brain health. However, it can be high in sodium and fats due to added oils and salt, so moderation is encouraged. Often sold in jars or cans, crab paste is a versatile staple for bringing authentic, oceanic umami to homemade dishes.
