About Teaspoon of hot sauce
A teaspoon of hot sauce is a flavorful condiment typically made from chili peppers, vinegar, salt, and various spices. Originating from diverse culinary traditions including Mexican, Caribbean, and Asian cuisines, hot sauce adds a spicy kick to dishes without significant calories—usually less than 5 calories per teaspoon. It’s low in fat and sugar but high in sodium due to added salt, which may be a consideration for those monitoring their sodium intake. Chili peppers contain capsaicin, a compound linked to potential health benefits such as boosting metabolism and providing antioxidants. While a teaspoon offers modest nutritional perks, overconsumption may irritate sensitive stomachs or contribute to excessive sodium intake. Used in moderation, hot sauce can enhance flavor without adding unhealthy fats or calories, making it a popular choice for spicing up meals.
