About Dried fish paste

Dried fish paste is a concentrated seasoning made by fermenting and drying ground fish, traditionally used in Southeast Asian cuisines like Thai, Filipino, and Vietnamese dishes. Rich in umami flavor, it adds depth to soups, sauces, and curries. Ingredients typically include small fish, salt, and sometimes additional seasonings, fermented to enhance its flavor profile. Nutritionally, dried fish paste is high in protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for brain health and reducing inflammation. It also contains minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, contributing to bone health. However, due to its high sodium content, it should be consumed in moderation, especially by individuals managing high blood pressure or heart conditions. A staple in many traditional recipes, dried fish paste delivers intense flavor alongside its nutrient benefits, making it both a culinary and dietary asset when used responsibly in balanced meals.
