I love how the simplicity and authenticity of the label. Definitely give it a good shake as well - you need to get all those fresh ingredients blended nicely. The thin nature of the sauce can make it easy to pour half the bottle out all over your plate. This bottle does not come with a stopper, so be careful. It works as a simple chip dip, especially when I want a hot sauce on the lower end of medium heat. It’s less successful (for me) with pizza or beef. The Bronx Greenmarket pairs perfectly with tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes. Usability is a bit mixed, but overall good. There’s enough salt here that you won’t go reaching for more (likely one of the reasons I’ve enjoyed The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce as much as I have!) Usability On the sodium - it sits at 50 mg per teaspoon serving. That’s a good thing if you’re looking for a “hot sauce for everyone”, but it feels to me like it could do with a touch more heat. I could use tons of this sauce on my plate and wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s a spiciness that most can enjoy without concern. And the heat only slightly builds as you eat more. It only reaches to mid-tongue, never making it to the back of your throat. ![]() It’s actually a pretty decent showing from the serranos in terms of heat, but the spiciness subsides pretty quickly. In this case, the end heat is more akin to eating a fresh jalapeño pepper (2,500 to 8,000 SHU.) At 5,500 Scoville heat units it’s just a touch hotter than Tabasco Original Red Sauce (which ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 SHU.) Serrano peppers have a range from 10,000 to 23,000 SHU, but (like any sauce) that heat is diluted with the other ingredients. The Bronx Green Market Hot Sauce is definitely on the mild end of medium heat. The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce on a spoon Heat Balance It’s very much what you’d expect by looking at the ingredients in order. Then finally you get a touch of pungency from the garlic and onion. The cane sugar amplifies the sweetness of the sauce without overwhelming it. But first the sweet, tangy taste of apple cider vinegar hits, soon followed with a mild bite from those serranos. ![]() The freshness of the ingredients, especially those serranos, shine through soon after you taste it. Small Axe Peppers and those community gardens certainly found a way to bring the taste of a fresh garden right to your door via their verde hot sauce. Visually, you can see those fresh pepper seeds floating amid this beautiful green sauce. The ingredients: apple cider vinegar, serrano peppers, garlic, onion, cane sugar, and salt. Overall, The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce hits a lot of the right notes with its simple ingredients list, providing a sweet, earthy, and tangy flavor to the table.
