About Tom yam paste

Tom Yam Paste is a flavorful blend used as the base for Thailand’s famous Tom Yum soup, offering a burst of tangy, spicy, and aromatic flavors. This paste typically contains ingredients such as chili peppers, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, shallots, garlic, and fish sauce, complemented by tamarind or lime juice for its signature sour profile. Its origins lie in Thai cuisine, celebrated for its harmonious balance of hot, sour, salty, and sweet. Rich in antioxidants from herbs and spices, Tom Yam Paste may support digestion and immune health. However, it can be high in sodium due to added fish sauce or salt. It's commonly used in soups, stir-fries, and marinades, making it a versatile addition to various dishes. For those seeking healthier options, low-sodium versions of the paste are available.
