Turkish Red Pepper Paste
Turkish Red Pepper Paste is a thick, concentrated paste made from roasted red peppers and salt, widely used in Turkish and broader Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines as a base for stews, marinades, mezes and sauces. It is prized for its deep, roasted pepper flavor and vibrant color. Nutritionally, Turkish Red Pepper Paste is low in fat and a plant-based source of fiber and micronutrients, but it can be very high in sodium, containing about 8g of salt per 100g, so portion control or low-salt versions are advisable. Because it’s made from roasted red peppers it supplies carotenoid pigments (powerful antioxidants) and useful vitamins like vitamin A, making it a flavorful way to add color and nutrients to dishes while keeping added fat minimal.
