Hot sauces: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Hot sauces are condiments made from chilli peppers, often combined with vinegar, salt, and other spices. They add heat and flavour to meals. When choosing hot sauces, consider the ingredient list and nutrition information. Some hot sauces can be high in salt, so it's worth checking the label. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises limiting salt intake. Look for sauces where chilli peppers or other vegetables are listed as the primary ingredients, indicating a higher proportion of whole foods. While some hot sauces contain added sugars, others do not. The government recommends limiting free sugars. Fibre content can vary, and sauces made with a higher proportion of vegetables may offer more. Reading the ingredient list can help you understand what's in the sauce.
