Ingredients In Hot Sauce Packet
Water: Acts as the base for the sauce, providing the right consistency.
Tomato Paste: Gives the sauce a rich, tomato flavor with a hint of sweetness while also contributing to its deep red color.
Vinegar: Adds a tangy and slightly acidic flavor, balancing out the sweetness of the tomatoes and enhancing the overall taste. It also helps preserve the sauce.
Jalapeño Pepper Puree: This is the primary source of heat, providing a spicy kick without being overwhelmingly hot. Jalapeños bring a fresh, peppery taste to the sauce.
Modified Food Starch: Used to thicken the sauce, ensuring a smooth consistency without altering the flavor.
Salt: Enhances the overall taste by bringing out the flavors of the other ingredients while also acting as a preservative.
Spices: A blend of seasonings that likely includes garlic powder, onion powder, and other spices, giving the sauce depth and complexity.
Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate): Added to extend the shelf life of the sauce by preventing the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast.
Xanthan Gum: A natural thickener and stabilizer that ensures the sauce maintains a uniform texture and prevents separation.
Natural Flavors: These are proprietary ingredients that enhance the overall flavor profile, offering subtle layers of taste that complement the heat of the jalapeños.
Malic Acid: Provides additional tartness to the sauce, enhancing its tangy flavor and balancing the spiciness.
