There’s no way around it, super hot sauces are sexy. They always have been, and they always will be. This warm, tingly sensation created by hot sauce comes from a miracle compound called capsaicin. Capsaicin doesn’t just burn your mouth; it affects your brain and your body by increasing blood flow and heart health. It also gives you a stamina boost.
The thing is, too much can often be uncomfortable, especially if you have digestive issues. So, hot sauce or chilli peppers in combination with a green sauce- salsa verde- allow the heat to build more gradually for a more enjoyable experience while still reaping the health benefits.
