About Hot pepper sauce

Hot pepper sauce is a liquid or pourable condiment in which hot peppers provide a defining flavour. The name does not identify a particular pepper, recipe, or processing method; products can differ in pepper content and in other ingredients. It is used at the table or as an ingredient to add heat and pepper flavour to foods.

It commonly has a coloured, fluid or thickened appearance, but colour and consistency depend on the peppers and formulation. Its taste is peppery and hot, with acidity, saltiness, or other notes varying by product. The label alone does not establish whether it is fermented, strained, or made with additional flavourings.
