We may be seasoned hot sauce eaters, but we also want to introduce people to hot sauce who are not yet familiar with it. We want to persuade even people who “can’t handle spicy food” to give it a try, because we are convinced that we have a hot sauce for everyone. Of course, the beginners among us should not immediately jump into the deep end and try Da Bomb Beyond Insanity<\/strong><\/a>, because then you will be done with hot sauces after just one use. But what is the best place to start? We are going to answer that question.<\/p>\n

Heat level<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It goes without saying that beginners in the hot sauce world should start with the ‘mild’ category. At least, if you don’t often eat spicy food. For us, hot sauces that fit into the ‘mild<\/strong><\/a>‘ category are hardly spicy at all. A bit like sambal from the supermarket, or maybe even less spicy. It does contain peppers, otherwise it wouldn’t be a hot sauce, but with these sauces it’s all about the flavour. Of course, real beginners will feel something in their mouth, but this should also be acceptable to them.<\/p>\n

If you already have some experience with spicy, you can also start with the ‘medium hot<\/strong><\/a>‘ category. For example, if you already eat sambal with many dishes or regularly work with peppers when cooking. This is also the category with the most hot sauces in our range, so the choice is huge!<\/p>\n

Flavours for beginners<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is of course a personal thing and we cannot predict what all beginners will like. Nevertheless, we think we can provide some useful advice. Mexican cuisine is a good introduction to spicy food in our opinion and it is also a cuisine that is quite popular in Europe. Hot sauces that go very well with this are ‘verde’ hot sauces, or green hot sauces. Its color is mainly due to the use of (green) Jalape\u00f1os, but the other typical ingredients in these sauces also contribute to this. Another advantage for the beginners among us: these are often mild to medium hot hot sauces and therefore a safe, but above all delicious start to your spicy journey. Think of sauces such as Torchbearer Jalapeno Cilantro<\/strong><\/a> hot sauce, Heartbeat Jalapeno<\/strong><\/a> or Raijmakers Heetmakers Jalapeno, Gin & Lime<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
