Summary

This curry paste contains a variety of beneficial spices such as chilli, lemongrass, and garlic, which are minimally processed and offer health benefits. However, the presence of refined sugar and soybean oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, detracts from its nutritional profile. The product is processed, which limits its score, but the absence of additives and artificial ingredients helps maintain a moderate rating.
