Chili Pepper News — hot sauce

Capsaicin is all the rage when it comes to describing the innermost superpowers of chili peppers. It is the most written about, spoken about, and researched compound in chili peppers. Capsaicin is the compound in charge of the heat and burn in peppers and many positive health benefits. But Capsaicin isn’t just one compound show. That’s right - there are other superheroes in the bunch.

Hot sauce, like many condiments, is offered in many varieties, and like potato chips, you can’t have just one. You may have a habanero hot sauce, a chipotle one, and a jalapeño sauce. Your pantry may also be stocked with various heats from mild to super hot. All these half-used bottles of hot sauce may start looking a little tired, waiting to be used up to the last drop and you’re just ready for a fresh new batch already. But how can you use all the hot sauce you already have?

Oh, it’s so hard being basic - like getting to Starbucks the first day they release the Pumpkin Spice Latte is so exhausting. Also putting hot sauce on nachos and tacos as they told us in “Being a Basic Human” school. Stop being Basic! Why we as humans may have a long way to go to divert from conformity, take baby steps and try dousing hot sauce on some of your favorite foods - you know the foods you would never think to put hot sauce on.

Supermodels - they’re just like us, right? Well actually while we’re stuck in traffic at the In n’ Out drive-thru dreaming of calling into work sick for the next 10 years, supermodels are strutting down the runway, wearing high-end fashions dreaming of….hot sauce on their omelets? Supermodels are head over high heels about hot sauce and some have even professed their undying love for the spicy condiment. What’s not to love? It’s virtually calorie-free, can aid in weight loss by raising metabolism, and makes even a small bite of bland food taste dynamic!
