Crystal hot sauce

Crystal Hot Sauce is a popular condiment in various Latin American cuisines, known for its vibrant flavor and its ability to enhance a wide variety of dishes. It is characterized by its liquid and translucent texture, as well as a balance between spiciness and a slightly acidic touch.

Originating in countries such as Mexico and several in the Southern Cone, Crystal Hot Sauce is made primarily from fresh chili peppers, vinegar, salt, and sometimes sugar or additional spices that add depth of flavor. Its formula may vary by region, but it always offers that distinctive spicy nuance that complements everything from meats and seafood to soups, stews, and snacks.

Among its properties, its low calorie content and richness in capsaicin, the compound responsible for the sensation of heat, stand out. Capsaicin is associated with digestive and antioxidant benefits. Furthermore, being a liquid condiment, it is easy to dose and mixes well with other ingredients in culinary preparations.

In the Latin American sphere, Crystal Hot Sauce may also be known simply as crystal sauce, crystal chili sauce, or, depending on the country and brand, as liquid hot chili pepper sauce. Despite differences in name, all maintain the essence of a spicy, clear, and versatile condiment, essential for giving a distinctive touch to recipes.
