Trachang Brand Shrimp Paste 400g

Trachang Brand Shrimp Paste (กะปิแท้ตราชั่ง, kapi trae tra Chang) is a Thai fermented shrimp paste produced under the Trachang (Tra Chang / ตราชั่ง — Scales Brand) brand. The 400g format is the larger household to semi-commercial size in the Trachang shrimp paste range, providing greater volume than the 185g jar and suited to households that use kapi frequently, as well as restaurant and foodservice use. The Thai description notes its rich, concentrated, and well-rounded flavour (รสชาติเข้มข้น กลมกล่อม) and its suitability for both household and restaurant use (ใช้ได้ทั้งในครัวเรือนและร้านอาหาร). Shrimp paste (kapi / กะปิ) is a fermented seafood condiment made from small shrimp or krill that are salted, fermented, and sun-dried to produce a dense, pungent, and deeply savoury paste — a foundational ingredient in Thai cooking used in nam phrik kapi, curry pastes, and a wide range of Thai dishes.
