Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste

Just moved into a super authentic loft in a “gritty” up-and-coming neighborhood (translation: I saw a guy juggling fire next to a boarded-up Quiznos and thought, this place has soul). I’m originally from Portland—grew up on kombucha and regret—so I naturally needed something that could match my ethically-sourced spice expectations. Enter: Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste, 35 glorious ounces of Southeast Asian legitimacy I can spoon into my hydroponic bok choy without fear of violating my intermittent keto-cycling-raw protocol. It’s vegan, it’s spicy, it’s industrial-sized—which honestly pairs great with my personality. One tablespoon and suddenly my tiny house smells like a Bangkok night market, minus the noise and with more reclaimed wood accents. My dinner guests (usually named things like River, Moss, or DJ Lich Enthusiast) were blown away. “Is this authentic?” they asked. I responded, “I don’t believe in authenticity. Only in intention.” I now use it for everything—soups, eggs, marinades, emotional support. It’s got that perfect balance of heat, flavor, and colonial guilt. Sometimes I just open the tub and inhale while journaling about my spiritual debt to Thailand. Five stars. Would curry again. And I’ve already suggested it to my food co-op Slack. P.S. Thinking of opening a “Green Curry & Cold Brew” pop-up out of my Sprinter van. LMK.

I love this curry paste. I like making Thai curry to eat for lunches during the week. I am sensitive to spice and I don’t like it very much. But my problem is I like the flavor to be strong still. this curry paste is not spicy so I can add as much for flavor as I want to and then if I want to add spice, I can use other spices. It is truly fantastic and I can make many batches of my Thai curry with this. It’s definitely worth it.

i can't judge the authenticity of the flavor, but can say that when i make it correctly it tastes like the green curry i've had in thai restaurants. i did have to learn to measure the amount instead of just guessing - i wasn't using enough. and the flavor was weak, but the right amount makes a delicious curry when mixed with coconut milk - great base for adding vegetables, protein and rice/noodles. i wish they would figure out better packaging than the large plastic bag, but still feel that it's environmentally better than the individual use glass jars. bottom line: makes a delicious curry dish.

Pro's - LOW Sodium, the only curry paste I've found that isn't salty - Great ingredients list, no preservatives just the traditional green curry ingredients *already pounded* into a paste - Fresh taste and smell - Good price per serviing! Not Really a Con - Soybean oil. I'm not concerned about soybean oil, it must be a small amount because the calories per tsp is 5. If you've ever made your own curry paste you know that it takes a lot of time to pound the ingredients into a paste. Lime peels and lemongrass are tough and using a food processor doesn't produce the same results as mortar and pestle. Thai Kitchen takes the hard work out of making curries by creating the base paste for you. I made the mistake of just adding coconut milk to it...and that's not bad...but to really make a delicious curry use this paste as a *base* and them customize it to your tastes. You will probably want to add some thai chili's, fish sauce, sugar, kaffir leaves and maybe even some salt. Whatever your preference it's easy to use create the flavor you want with this paste!

This curry paste is our favorite. I bought it because it's hard to find one that doesn't have animal products. This is vegan and gluten free which makes it safe for all family members. We love this and I appreciated finding an option in a larger size. The texture is thick but a little goes a long way. It's very versatile and we use it in pasta salads, soups and our weekly curry night

A great value for money, lasting the tub contents for a long time (we keep it in the freezer). Tastes very authentic Thai and flavorful. It is spicy and that's what we love!

Comes in a big tube with a plastic bag full of hideous green sauce. You cannot put the stuff back in the bag and close the lid of the Tupperware, so I threw it away. It didn’t taste good, either. Zero stars. And I LOVE this brand’s red curry paste.

The plastic container came broken. However the contents (Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste) in the sealed plastic bag was not damaged. I transferred the contents to a glass bottle . The batch that I received has more cilantro mix than green chilli. It is not spicy/hot for an Asian. Does not taste like authentic as served in Thai restaurants. Nevertheless, this Thai Green Curry Paste is good for quick cooking.
