Curry paste

Curry paste is a concentrated mixture of spices and other ingredients used as a base for curries and sauces. The figures describe the paste itself, rather than a prepared curry. It mainly provides fat and carbohydrate, with some fibre and protein. Per 100g, it contains 21g of fat, 11g of carbohydrate, 6.8g of fibre and 3.8g of salt.

The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, particularly when other salty ingredients are added during cooking. The amount of paste used and the other ingredients in a dish will affect its overall nutrient content. Fibre supports normal bowel function, while fat provides energy. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
