Trader Joe's Habanero Hot Sauce
The flavor is all habanero and garlic with a bit of that onion in the mix, but at a lesser level. I could have sworn I tasted some carrot in there, as well, but its not listed so maybe the sauces color is playing mind tricks on me.
The texture of this one, for me anyways, is spot on. Its not runny or watery. Trader Joes Habanero Sauce is chunky and full on the palate chewy even without accompanying food. You can feel the bits of pepper and seeds as you enjoy the sauce.
The burn on this one fully engulfs the tongue and inside of the lips. It builds smoothly to a moderately high level before fading slowly, leaving a fiery tingle in the chest. Like I said above, it surprised me at first as I wasnt expecting that sort of punch from a habanero sauce, but Ive grown accustomed to its warm embrace.
This product from Trader Joes has become a staple in my meager collection of hot sauces. It goes on just about everything, but I particularly love it on tacos and burgers. The manufacturer has done a great job with this one, allowing the peppers to stand on their own, only seasoning where needed.
