Hot pepper sauce

Hot pepper sauce is a chilli-based condiment, described here in its ready-to-use form. It contains small amounts of fat, carbohydrate and protein, with salt being a notable component. Per 100g, it provides 1.5g of fat, 1.7g of carbohydrate, 1.6g of protein and 3.8g of salt. These figures represent samples from several brands.

Salt contains sodium, which helps regulate fluid balance and supports nerve and muscle function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. The amount consumed depends on how much sauce is used, and salt content can vary between products. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (7 samples, 3 brands (Tabasco, Encona, Calypso)). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LFRA, Nutrient analysis of miscellaneous foods, 1992.
