Fermenting is usually a word that is reserved for alcoholic beverages. In hot sauce, it’s a great way to enhance the natural flavours of all of the ingredients and create a deeper, more layered flavour profile. At the same time fermenting creates a very shelf stable and safe product. The process itself destroys bad bacteria and creates a gut health positive product by making a sauce rich in lactobacillus and probiotics that aid in digestion. Fermentation in this form does not create an alcoholic product. Any alcohol that may actually be created is so miniscule, it’s almost immeasurable.
