A con of Sriracha is that it can be very spicy. Some people may not be able to handle the heat, especially if they’re not used to eating spicy foods. Additionally, Sriracha is high in sodium, which can be bad for people with high blood pressure or heart problems. Even though the amount per serving likely won’t contribute too much to your daily intake, it may be worth comparing a few different brands if you’re trying to limit sodium in your diet. Some other brands contain up to about 5 calories per teaspoon (5 grams), or slightly larger amounts of vitamins A and C, but the nutrition facts remain about the same across brands ( 2, 3, 4).Both Sriracha and chili sauce can be very spicy, so it’s important to know how much heat you can handle before adding either to your food. If you’re not used to eating spicy food, it can be a good idea to start with a small amount and work your way up. As mentioned, Sriracha uses red jalapeños as its pepper of choice. Red jalapeños tend to be near the top of the jalapeño Scoville heat range (2,500 to 8,000 Scoville heat units). But this sauce only taps into about small portion of that. It’s really rather mild. Sriracha only lands between 1,000 and 2,500 Scoville heat units, making it a very family-friendly hot sauce. Compare that to another staple Tabasco, which hits between 2,500 and 5,000 SHU. It’s much less.

In Thailand, sriracha is frequently used as a dipping sauce, particularly for seafood and omelets. In Vietnamese cuisine, sriracha appears as a condiment for phở and fried noodles, as a topping for spring rolls ( chả giò), and in sauces.
