The hot sauce craze is alive and well in the USA! Americans have embraced the burn and yearn to add heat without compromising flavor to the tune of a 2.5 billion dollar market. Watch out ketchup, nearly half of American households use this popular condiment at least once a week and that number keeps growing.
This increase in consumption means more brands are entering the marketplace, so how to chose the perfect bottle to enhance your culinary experience? Stick with small batch! At LifiBifi we love small businesses and eepcially when it comes to food. Small batch hot sauce companies offer higher quality ingredients, less or no preservatives and unique flavors. They can focus on producing smaller quantities giving them the ability to experiment with unique flavors. The end result is an artisanal product that delivers a much better bang for your buck. Finally, you are supporting a small business, always a win win!
Not only are we flavor obsessed but there are some health benefits as well, so go ahead and add some spice to life!
