Northern Thai Nam Pu (Unseasoned Crab Concentrate) – Traditional Lanna Field Crab Paste | Nam Puu (น้ำปู, น้ำปู๋) for Som Tam, Nam Prik & Thai Cooking

Discover the authentic taste of Northern Thailand with Nam Pu (Nam Puu), a traditional Lanna-style field crab concentrate made using a time-honored slow reduction process. Fresh field crabs are cleaned, crushed, filtered, and simmered for hours until they become a thick, dark, highly concentrated paste with a rich natural crab aroma.

This product is UNSEASONED and NOT ready to eat. It is intended as a cooking ingredient and should always be mixed into recipes to develop its full flavor. Because it contains 100% concentrated crab extract with no starch or fillers added, a small amount goes a long way.

A staple ingredient in Northern Thai cuisine, Nam Pu adds deep umami flavor to traditional dishes such as Som Tam (Papaya Salad), Nam Prik Nam Pu (Northern Thai Chili Dip), spicy salads, and many authentic Lanna recipes.
