Sriracha is a popular hot chili sauce originally from Thailand, often used to add a fiery kick to dishes. Its ingredients typically include chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt, creating a balance of heat, tanginess, and subtle sweetness. Commonly associated with Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, it has gained global recognition for its versatility in enhancing flavors. Nutritionally, Sriracha is low in calories and fat, making it a guilt-free condiment in small amounts. Capsaicin, the compound in chili peppers responsible for their heat, may provide health benefits such as boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation. However, Sriracha contains added sugar and sodium, which should be consumed moderately to maintain a balanced diet. Perfect for spicing up soups, stir-fries, or even eggs, Sriracha offers a bold taste but should be used mindfully for those monitoring sugar or sodium intake.
