How We Compare
Most commercial hot sauces rely on salt to carry flavor. When your base is vinegar and water, you need sodium to make it taste like something. Fresh vegetables change that equation.

|---|---|
| Frank's RedHot | 190mg |
| Cholula | 110mg |
| Sriracha | 80mg |
| Valentina | 64mg |
| Salamander Tropical | 50mg |
| Salamander Original | 35mg |
| Salamander Whiskey | 25mg |
