Overview
Dashing TABASCO Original onto eggs, oysters, pizza or tacos adds aged red pepper tang with medium heat. It is made from just aged red peppers, salt and distilled vinegar.
A short ingredient list and wide diet certifications make it easy to use almost anywhere. The vinegar-led flavor is sharp, so people who want a thick or sweet sauce may not like it.
Who it's for
Breakfast, pizza nights and oyster platters suit a thin, tangy pepper sauce. People who want a thick, sweet or fruity sauce should look at other styles.
Pros and cons
- Only three ingredients
- Halal and kosher
- Large glass bottle
- Needs refrigeration after opening
Performance notes
Aging the peppers deepens their flavor, and distilled vinegar carries it in a thin sauce that spreads in a few drops. Refrigerating after opening protects the flavor.
