What's the difference between yellow and pink bottles?

Know before buying yellow bottle and pink bottle flavored fish sauce. How different is it? Which is better? Many people have used it for a long time just know.

"Fish sauce" is considered a Thai kitchen garnish that almost every house has to stick to because it improves the taste of mellow, intense and long-standing Thai food. One of the most familiar brands can't escape the nectar that has been in the Thai kitchen for many generations.

But I believe that many people may be so familiar with the yellow label bottle that they think that there is only one recipe. In fact, there is also a pink label bottle on sale, which makes many people wonder if the two bottles are just different in color, or if there are other details hidden.

{What's the difference between a yellow bottle and a pink bottle?}

The main difference between the two recipes of fish sauce is in raw material proportion and nutritional value, especially the amount of anchovy used in production, which affects taste, price and sodium.

< < Tippe Fish Juice Yellow Bottle > >

(Components)

• 65.0% anchovy

• 30.5% saline

• 4.5% white sugar

(Nutritional value)

• 2 grams of protein

• 1,590 milligrams of sodium

< < Tippe Fish Juice Pink Bottle > >

(Components)

• 60.0% anchovy

• 30.5% saline

• 4.5% white sugar

(Nutritional value)

• 1 g protein

• 1,320 milligrams of sodium

{In a simple summary, choose which bottle is suitable for whom?}

According to the data, yellow bottles use more anchovies, so they are often considered standard or higher-grade formulas, taste more intense and protein.

The pink bottle uses less anchovy, makes it more affordable and has less sodium content than the yellow bottle, so it may be an alternative for people who want to control sodium consumption.

{What should be chosen?}

• If you like strong flavors, use regular cooking, choose yellow bottle.

• To emphasize value, or to reduce sodium a little, choose a pink bottle.

However, no matter which recipe is chosen, it should be used in the right amount, because fish sauce is still a high-sodium flavoring. If consumed too much, it can affect health.

Yellow bottle and pink bottle nectar are not just different from the color of the label, but different from the proportion of anchovies, protein, sodium and price. Anyone who has used it for a long time but has never noticed it today will have a clear answer to which bottle is chosen depending on the taste and use of each house.
