What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottle in the condiments aisle or on the table at taco nights and casual eateries — a go-to for adding a garlicky, vinegary kick. It feels practical and a bit nostalgic for takeout flavors, offering an instant spicy lift to meals. The smooth, consistent texture and ingredients like xanthan gum and "natural flavors" reflect industrial processing for stability and uniform taste, so it's more processed than a homemade chili paste.
