The Colour of Red is Green

Have you tried our Thai Panang paste? Several customers have noticed that ours is not the deep orange-red that they’ve seen in Thailand or their local Thai restaurants, the colour you might expect of a curry with a red-chilli base.

Here’s why ours is different.

We blend fresh ingredients to create our curry pastes, including the zesty kaffir lime leaves that give it those bright citrussy notes. This means the vibrant green leaves get distributed throughout the paste. The flavour is, as many customers have noted, ‘authentic and flavoursome’. It just looks greener.

Thank you to everyone who has been in touch with us about this. We’ve now redone our packaging so that the image you’ll find there is a more accurate depiction of the colour of curry you’ll make with the contents.

It’s a bit greener than you might have expected, but its still warm and spicy and herby and delicious… a panang in every other respect.
