About Tomato-based hot sauce

Tomato-based hot sauce is a prepared condiment in which tomato is combined with chilli or other hot peppers. It is used in small amounts to add heat and acidity to meals. The label does not specify a fixed recipe, pepper type, tomato proportion or level of heat.

It may be smooth or pulpy, pourable or thick, and ranges from red to orange-red. Its flavour can combine tomato’s savoury tang with chilli heat and other seasonings, sometimes including vinegar. Nutrition comparisons depend on the recipe, processing, concentration and additions such as salt or sugar.
