"Generally, most hot sauces are quite low calorie and a good condiment choice,"
"For people who are aiming for weight loss we often talk about "flavour boosters" and hot sauce is a great one - adding a lot of flavour for few calories."

Hot sauce consumption in the UK has risen sharply, with Tesco selling an extra 2.5 million bottles last year, a nearly 20% increase. Sriracha sales rose almost 65% and Encona West Indian pepper sauce sales rose over 28%. The market is now worth over £200 million. Most hot sauces are low in calories and serve as flavour boosters that add taste for few calories, useful for weight-loss strategies. Many hot sauces contain added salt and sugar, which can affect people with cardiovascular or kidney disease. Hot sauces can also contribute to digestive issues for people taking anti-inflammatory medications, steroids, or aspirin. Origins trace to Aztec chilli pastes around 7000 BC.
