Gourmet Lynch Selection: Sriracha Hot Sauce

GOURMET LYNCH SELECTION: SRIRACHA HOT SAUCE

HEAT LEVEL 5 / 10

CAYENNE PEPPER 30, 000 - 50, 000 SCU

Utilizing cayenne peppers and sweet peppers, this sauce ends up being the perfect combination of heat, sweetness, and tang. Cayenne peppers are a bit higher on the scoville chart but with the addition of the sweet peppers, the heat is tamed down to a mild level.

I loved the underlying sweetness of the sauce and found that the heat was kind of lacking despite the cayenne peppers potential for bite. Being a bit more mild makes this sauce perfect for everyday cooking. As the bottle suggests, it can be used in a variety of ways including eggs, chilis, and dipping sauces. Try stirring some into mayo / vegan mayo for a wonderful dipping sauce for fries, veggies, or as a condiment on burgers or sandwiches.

This sauce is perfect for those who say they love heat but cringe every time the bottle of hot sauce hits the table. 

My only complaint about this particular brand is that there is a few more ingredients than what I'd like to see in a sauce. The sodium is especially high as well so it's important to stick to the serving size suggested to avoid a sodium disaster!
