You may be wondering why this spicy sauce<\/strong>, which is characterised by its bright red, green, or brown colour, is loved by so many, especially when consumers start to feel a tingling on their lips, have some sniffles, and a few drops of sweat start forming on their brow.<\/p>\n True heat seekers will tell you these symptoms are worth it when they taste the bold flavours of a new hot sauce. These sauces can be used to add character to recipes, including scrambled eggs, chicken wings, or even in bread recipes, adding a feisty kick.<\/p>\n No matter whether you hate it or love it, this spicy sauce is here to stay.<\/p>\n This delicious condiment<\/strong> is made from a variety of chilli peppers, which are believed to be one of the earliest plants discovered by humans.<\/p>\n The use of the sauce has been traced back to Mayan times in Mexico where the plants were mixed with water to create a spicy additive for meals. While in Central America, the Aztecs were also believed to have created a variation of the sauce. Chilli peppers have been traced back to 7,000 BC where the plants were growing in the wild in Mexico. The Aztecs and Mayans then domesticated the plant for food and medicinal reasons. As cultures learnt of the flavourful spicy sauce, countries around the world began developing new variations of it, leading to several types of hot sauces being available for consumers to choose from. Today, there are several different sauces found across the globe, which include types like:<\/p>\n These names can now be found bottled on shelves across the world amongst many other varieties of hot sauces. They are used in all types of foods and are a staple condiment in many homes, right next to the trusty tomato sauce. With all the varieties of chilli peppers and condiments<\/strong>, a system was created to measure how spicy certain variations are.

While the industry is on an upward trend, the distribution channels in the UK have shifted slightly in recent times.<\/p>\n The move to online distribution<\/strong> and purchasing has increased due to the latest developments across the globe.

The History of Hot Sauce<\/span><\/h2>\n
Hot Sauce\u2019s Origin<\/span><\/h3>\n
The base ingredient of the sauce, chilli peppers, have been used for centuries to enhance the flavour of food, as well as for medicinal reasons. The plant is known to increase the level of endorphins in the body.
Spicy food as a solution to the blues? Sounds like a dream to some who enjoy the burn. The active ingredient in chilli peppers, known as capsaicin, has several other health benefits as well:<\/p>\n\n
The Creation of Hot Sauce<\/span><\/h3>\n
While the first hot sauces were simply a mix of these peppers and water, it soon became popular to breed these plants and mix up different varieties of chilli peppers. Eventually, ingredients from other parts of the world were added, like vinegar, salt, and spices.
This then led to the sauce reaching all parts of the world where cultures nurtured and evolved the sauce into several varieties, from Tabasco<\/strong> to sriracha, and even Buffalo hot sauce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/chocolate-brands.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/creation-of-hot-sauces-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
The Common Types and Uses<\/span><\/h2>\n
Several types of peppers and chillies<\/strong> were used along with different combinations of spices to create unique sauces across the world.<\/p>\nA Variety of Flavours<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
This spicy delight extends beyond the kitchen and the capsaicin in the peppers is used as a topical medicine for joint and muscle pain. The spiciness of the peppers is also used in pepper sprays in law-enforcement circles.<\/p>\nHow to Measure the Heat<\/span><\/h3>\n
This scale uses Scoville Heat Units (SHU) to measure the spiciness in all varieties, including the pepper sprays used by law enforcement agencies, which are recorded at the top of the scale with up to 5 million SHU.
The pepper that falls under the spray and is therefore seen as the hottest pepper (noted by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2017) is the Carolina Reaper<\/strong> measuring between 1.4 and 2.2 million SHU. To put this into perspective, a common jalape\u00f1o pepper measures in at 2,500 to 8,000 SHU.
Since you can mix several peppers into a sauce and elevate the capsaicin content, the current hottest hot sauce is the Mad Dog 357 Plutonium No. 9. This sauce measures in at 9 million SHU.<\/p>\nFamous Hot Sauce Brands<\/span><\/h2>\n
