Hi! It depends on your tolerance. Our Thai team doesn't think so, our Singaporean customers think it's just right, our Australian and American customers have mixed responses! Depending on your preference, coconut milk and/or sugar helps to tame the heat. Or if you find it too mild, do add sliced chillies like our Thai customers! Alternatively, our yellow curry is as delicious but definitely less spicy, and our lemongrass turmeric paste makes a delicious, non spicy curry. Hope that helps! ~ Zellie

I received my order and it was broken during shipping. When I tried to leave a review, they didn’t accept it. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

As this product is fulfilled by Amazon, if it arrives open then it has been damaged in transit. Please send Mekhala a message via your Amazon account with the order details and a photo if possible, and Mekhala will generate a refund, no questions asked!

what is the shelf life after opening?

Dear Joanne, thank you for your question! The green curry paste (and most of our other pastes), will keep for about a month in the fridge after opening. This can vary depending on the temperature of your fridge, how full the fridge is etc, but 1 month is a good estimate. Regards, Zellie.

"Organic Lemon Grass Tumeric", does it have shrimp in it?

The bottom front of the label says "No gluten, added sugar, nuts, shrimp or fish" and it SHOULD also say "no MSG" (if they did not add monosodium glutamate) These are all things that a very small percentage of the population is allergic to, but allergen information is VITAL! They probably mentioned these things are NOT in this product not only because they are allergens for some people, but also because all of these things are common ingredients in typical Thai foods. Finally I can make Paad Thai (with flat rice or tapioca noodles) WITHOUT endanging the health of someone in my family who has a serious allergy to one of these ingredients!

A little goes a long way, it has lots of flavor!

We absolutely love this stuff! It is so flavorful! If you are cooking Vietnamese food you must buy this! It is impossible to find this here so I took a chance and bought it online and now I’ve bought it twice so far! My family thinks the flavor is exactly like our local restaurant! Fast shipping makes it easy to get and keep on hand. You will not be disappointed!!

Wakes up the flavor in your favorite dish

This is tasty and brings out just the right amount of flavor and spiciness in my favorite dishes. I would buy again.

Really Good!

I have a very hard time finding fresh Thai Holy Basil so I tried this as an alternative. It is very good! It’s described as “punchy” and it is but not overwhelming. The basil is the dominant flavor, which is perfect. I would add garlic anyway so this gives me the ability to add more fresh garlic to taste. Draw backs are that the product is a bit grainy and it’s suggested you use it within 30 days once opened.

Really small…

I guess it is my fault to not pay attention to the volumn for this product but the amount is so small despite it being organic. Flavor is quite bland, needs extra lemon juice. The lemongrass flavor is almost not existent. It is kinda spicy tho and the color seems relatively red. Overall the cooked outcome doesn’t seem too appetizing so I probably will not buy again, would just go to a local Chinese market to get those fresh herbs next time

Very tasty sauce

Its a small jar, but packed with power. 2 tsps per meal is all you need. You get 4 servings per jar. Each serving could feed a family of 4, depending how you make it and how big of an eater you are. I put some red onion, white carrot, mushrooms and red and green bell pepper in a pan with a couple teaspoons of coconut oil. When I could smell the veggies, I added a can of drain and rinsed chickpeas. After a couple minutes I put a teaspoon more coconut oil and 2 teaspoons of the sauce. Let the sauce (paste) get warm and added a can of simple coconut cream and let simmer while I made a serving of pad thai noodles. It had a nice mellow heat to it, but you could add a thai chili or jalapeno it you want it undeniably hot. I enjoyed it, and have plenty left over.
