Hot Sauce Recipes

Flavor, health benefits, and homemade heat

If you are looking for a go-to, flavorful hot sauce, that adds to a dish rather than over powers check these out. Our favorite is the Thai’d Up. You only need a little and it makes a good sized batch. These are also great to make and give out as gifts for the upcoming holiday season.

Health benefits to hot sauce- when made with real ingredients- are plentiful.

Chili peppers have capsaicin which is responsible for many things, namely the pain the peppers produce and the release of endorphins that floods the system after consumption.

Capsaicin contains anti-inflammatory properties and most people, especially these days, are dealing with some inflammation or chronic inflammation. It also aids in congestion, is able to boost metabolism through thermogenesis and has been used as treatment for psoriasis. Additionally, it is known- given the amount and frequency - to reduce blood pressure, improve cholesterol and aid in digestion by helping the microbiome.

So, try a recipe and know that you are nourishing yourself and adding great flavor to whatever might need it.
