Page "Hot sauce" Paragraph 4

* Mexico-Mexican hot sauce typically focuses more on flavor than on intense heat.

The sauces are hot, but the individual flavors of the peppers are pronounced.

Vinegar is used sparingly or not at all.

Chipotles are a very popular ingredient of Mexican hot sauce.

Some sauces produced in Mexico are high-vinegar-content similar to the American Louisiana-style sauces.

Mexican-style sauces are also produced internationally ( e. g. Huffman's Hot Sauce and Kaitaia Fire from New Zealand ).

Some less hot sauces, like achiote or adobo, are used basically as part of some dishes, but they are used as a condiment, too.

Sometimes they come in a green variety.
