Three ingredients, fermented at least a year: a raw, probiotic hot sauce with balanced heat and no vinegar.

Red Hot Sauce is organic red Fresno peppers, water and sea salt, left to wild ferment for a minimum of one year. That long, slow ferment is where the flavor and the tang come from, not added vinegar. It is raw and unpasteurized, so the live Lactobacillus cultures are still active, which makes this one of the few hot sauces that counts as a fermented food rather than just a condiment. The heat is warm and rounded, not sharp, and it does not bury what you put it on. Each batch varies with the peppers available and the time it fermented.

Who this is for

  • You use hot sauce daily and want it to do something for your gut
  • You avoid vinegar, sugar or additives and most hot sauces have all three
  • You are garlic-free or onion-free: this one contains neither
  • You want clean heat that works on breakfast as well as dinner

How to use

Shake and pour on eggs, tacos, burgers, fried potatoes, rice bowls and soups. Add at the table rather than in the pan to keep the cultures alive.

Ingredients: organic red Fresno peppers, water, sea salt. 5 oz bottle. Keep refrigerated. Live and actively fermenting, so open slowly over a sink.
