>The hot sauce market has boomed in the UK in recent years – from trendy sriracha to Tabasco, Britons can not get enough of fiery condiments. In the last year, Tesco sold an extra 2.5 million bottles of the spicy glazes – a rise of almost 20 per cent. Sales of sriracha, for example, were up by nearly 65 per cent, and those of Encona West Indian pepper sauce – available on supermarket shelves since the 1980s – rose by over 28 per cent last year. The market is now estimated to be worth more than £200million. Health experts say that compared to other options on the supermarket shelves, hot sauces are not a bad option.

Chances are if you're buying the typical branded hot sauces , they will have added sugar and binding agents/starches - a rather moot point. Making it is simple and you can control what's going into it. That said, there are seemingly more and more independent producers keeping the ingredients list clean and simple.

I totally agree, thus the link to the other sub in my comment.

I like to go full retard and just put three or four drops of Reaper sauce on and then wonder what I'm actually doing with my life. It's either that or I'll douse it with a couple teaspoons of Cholula or a Louisiana style cayenne pepper sauce. Either way, it's not enough sauce to really matter nutritionally.
