I’m guessing there’s an error somewhere, because this doesn’t seem possible.
“oil”
DAM that’s a salty boy! That sodium lol
That sodium is pretty obscene too
All food oil is 9kcal/g, carbs and protein are 4kcal/g.
The chili oil is mostly oil.
Sure, but this stuff is like triple the density of oil if 4 tsp is 60g
60g of oil is 540 kcal-ish. The chili pepper is comparatively calorie free, so yea, 440kcal makes total sense.
Is it the tsp that’s throwing you off? I think there’s a typo - 4 tbsp would be about 60g. 4tsp I would expect to be about 20g.
I way prefer dealing in mass for cooking and baking personally…
4 tablespoons is 2 oz is 60g.
It says teaspoons…
It also says 60g, which maths with everything else.
Minor translation error on units they don’t use in China.
Probably an error and they accidentally calculated for 4 tablespoons instead of 4 teaspoons.
4 tablespoons is 2 oz is 1/4 cup is 60g
Hey OP. I think those numbers are based off the 60grams not the 4tsp.
4tsp of olive oil is 18 grams. 60grams of olive oil would be about 500 calories. I would assume they weight similar.
That’s my thought too, although 4tbsp would be a pretty hefty serving size so I’m betting their mistake was using tbsp when converting to grams (when they meant to use tsp) and then it’s likely correct from there.
The whole jar says 210g, so unless you’re supposed to use ~30% of the container, somebody messed up a conversion.
And 4 tbsp would be triple 4 tsp, or 54 grams. Similar ballpark at least.
google says that 60grams is the common conversion for 4 tablespoons.
Grams are a measure of weight (well, mass if you want to be really specific). Tablespoons are a measure of volume. In order to do a proper comparison you need to know density.
Because metric plans things nicely, a gram is one milliliter of water. 4 tbsp is 59.15ml. So… Yeah, pretty damn close to 60, but again that’s when working with water. I would imagine chili flakes are a little less dense and might throw that calculation off a bit.
That’s actually about on par with butter, so it’s not that insane
French and english labels? Tabarnak 🇨🇦
Is she the reason I havent been losing weight!
I dare you to eat the entire jar. For science.
60ml a.k.a. 4 tbsp sounds like a lot of chili oil to put in one serving. And I really enjoy teh spicy chili.

The wildest part of Lao Gan Ma is sodium if you ask me. Some of the Chinese import ones are over 1000mg per serve, though the domestically made ones are a bit healthier. That said, you’re probably not using 4 tsp of the stuff in most things.
Not enough protein!
