About Red chili paste

Red chili paste is a paste made with red chili peppers, but the catalogue does not specify the pepper type or other ingredients. It is therefore a variable prepared ingredient rather than a single-ingredient food of fixed composition.

It is used to add chili flavour and heat to foods and may be smooth or coarse, with colour and intensity varying by formulation. Other ingredients, processing, and consistency depend on the product and are not given in this record.
