Two common observations: oil can separate and float on top of sauces, and the paste mixes well with coconut milk to create a smooth curry base. Results and reviews note both behaviors depending on preparation.

Some product descriptions explicitly state there is no added MSG, no preservatives, and no artificial colors. Descriptions also emphasize the use of fresh ingredients — but claims vary by brand, so check the label.

Quick tips from product details: add about 2 teaspoons to zucchini and bell pepper for vegetable kabobs; mix the paste with coconut milk for curries; and use it to season vegetables, meats, or stir-fries. Adjust amount to taste.

Product notes may reference professional culinary use, but user reviews commonly describe the pastes as approachable and simple enough for beginners when following the package directions.
