Hot sauce is a flavorful condiment made primarily from chili peppers, vinegar, and salt, often blended with spices or fruits to suit regional tastes. Originating from ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, it is now a key ingredient in cuisines worldwide, including Mexican, Caribbean, and Asian dishes. Chili peppers, the star ingredient, contain capsaicin, a compound linked to metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory benefits. Hot sauce is generally low in calories and fat but can be high in sodium depending on the brand, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. While its bold flavor enhances meals, excessive consumption may irritate the stomach or exacerbate reflux conditions in sensitive individuals. Hot sauce is a versatile condiment that brings heat and zest to dishes while offering health perks when used in moderation.
