TABASCO^® brand Green Jalapeño Pepper Sauce

ABASCO^® brand Green Pepper Sauce is prepared by combining select, high-quality jalapeño peppers with distilled vinegar and water. This blend is put through a series of screens to produce a consistent quality sauce. Natural thickeners (cornstarch and xanthan gum) are added, along with ascorbic acid. The finished product is a pale green sauce that captures the fresh salsa notes missing from brined and dried jalapeño products. Add the unique fermented pepper flavor, and you have an ingredient that adds zest to any food product. Surprisingly mild, the sauce allows the flavor of jalapeño pepper to dominate over pungency. Formulated especially for food processing use with no added food colors. It's a great addition to sauces, salsa and salad dressings. Recommended usage levels: 3% to 8%.

APPLICATIONS
Use as a natural flavor enhancer for salad dressing, entrees, egg dishes, meat and poultry marinades, meat dishes and other foods where the spicy pepper and tart, salty flavors will add taste enhancement.
