If variety is truly 'the spice of life,' as the saying goes, then it’s high time we all make our way to Trader Joe’s. The beloved specialty grocer offers a variety of hot sauces like you’ve never seen before. And, I'm not just talking about your average, ordinary red hot sauces—although there is a time and place for those popular flavors, too. No, at TJ’s, you’ll find an eclectic lineup of spicy sauces with flavors from all around the world from Mexico to Africa to Japan.
Trader Joe’s whips up its own version of America’s favorite condiments—a category which now includes Sriracha. The market’s iteration is made with sun-ripened chili peppers–the same base as the Huy Fong Foods brand–and more specifically both red jalapeno peppers and red Anaheim peppers. Ingredients like salt, crushed garlic, and vinegar are also ground in for taste and a fire-breathing dragon on the front of the bottle warns you of its heat. The sauce sells for $3.99.
The taste: This is one bomba that explodes straight away. Trader Joe’s will try to tell you it's a spice that builds, but I have to wholeheartedly disagree. There were no early warning signs, just one taste, and momma mia my mouth was suddenly ablaze. Heat aside, the sauce is teeming with that juicy fresh pepper taste that is accompanied by a touch of acidity from the oily solution. It’s a full-flavored and zippy relish.
The look: Opaque and orange, similar to a velvety buffalo sauce or a hot sauce that has been stirred in with a saturated ranch dressing.
