Liquid hot sauce is a liquid condiment made from chili peppers, vinegar, salt, and sometimes other ingredients such as garlic, spices, or fruits, which give it an intense, spicy, and slightly acidic flavor. Its liquid texture makes it ideal for adding a touch of flavor and heat to a wide variety of dishes, from meats, seafood, and soups, to tacos, sauces, and dressings.
The origin of liquid hot sauce is deeply linked to the cuisine of Mexico and other regions of Latin America, where chili is a fundamental ingredient in traditional cooking. Over time, it has been adopted and adapted in different Latin American countries, each contributing its own varieties and heat levels.
This sauce not only adds flavor but also contains beneficial properties derived from chili peppers, such as capsaicin, which can help stimulate metabolism, improve circulation, and provide an antioxidant effect.
In Latin America, liquid hot sauce goes by various synonyms depending on the country, such as ají líquido (in Colombia, Venezuela, and Peru), salsa de ají (Ecuador and Peru), pimienta líquida (Costa Rica), or simply salsa picante in a general sense.
It is an essential ingredient in the pantry of those looking to give their recipes a special and authentic touch, providing a perfect balance between flavor and heat.
