Low-Salt Prawn Paste
Low-Salt Prawn Paste is a concentrated Southeast Asian condiment made from fermented and ground prawns or shrimp; it provides a salty, savory umami boost to curries, sambals and sauces and is used sparingly because of its strong flavour. Nutritionally it is notable as a protein-rich ingredient, supplying about 28g of protein per 100 g, and also contributes marine nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, iodine and selenium. Although used in small amounts, it delivers a powerful savory punch and — along with its high-quality amino acids — is valued for boosting flavor and nutrient density in dishes.
