Homemade Chilli Paste (Reduced Sugar and Salt)

Homemade Chilli Paste (Reduced Sugar and Salt) is a spicy, savory condiment made from roasted chilies and seasonings commonly used in many Asian and Latin cuisines to add heat and depth to dishes. It’s typically spooned into sauces, marinades, stir-fries or used as a table condiment. Nutritionally, this paste is used sparingly but stands out as a source of vitamin C, providing about 170mg per 100g, along with modest fiber and healthy unsaturated fat from any added oils. It is lower in added sugar and salt compared with many commercial chili pastes, so it adds bold flavor without as much of the typical sodium or sugar load. From a health perspective, it delivers useful micronutrients and antioxidants associated with chilies (including carotenoids), and because it’s consumed in small amounts it can boost flavor without greatly increasing calories. It’s not a significant source of protein, so treat it as a flavoring rather than a nutrient-dense staple.
