About Cuttlefish paste

Cuttlefish paste is a smooth, dark seafood condiment made from finely processed cuttlefish, often mixed with salt, oil, and spices for flavor enhancement. Traditionally originating from Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, it is a staple in dishes like pasta, risottos, stir-fries, or as a marinade for seafood. Rich in protein, cuttlefish paste provides essential amino acids and minerals like selenium and phosphorus that support metabolism and bone health. It is also low in fat, making it a lean source of nutrition. The paste may contain added sodium or preservatives, so moderating its intake is recommended for those monitoring salt consumption. Cuttlefish paste delivers a deep umami flavor, adding complexity to recipes and making it a favorite among seafood enthusiasts. Always check ingredients for allergens and consult dietary preferences while using this versatile and flavorful food creation.
