What it is

Chimichurri paste is a vibrant green sauce originating from Argentina and Uruguay. It is typically made from finely chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, and red wine vinegar, often with a touch of red pepper flakes for heat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use chimichurri paste primarily as a flavorful condiment and marinade. Its zesty, herbaceous taste complements grilled meats, poultry, and vegetables, making it popular in frozen dinners, deli items, and appetizers.

Health notes

Chimichurri paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The primary components like herbs, garlic, and olive oil are common food items with long histories of use. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated many individual components of chimichurri, but not the specific paste formulation. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming chimichurri paste in typical amounts found in food.

Allergen info

Chimichurri paste is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
