Bright red, multi-purpose Sriracha hot sauce is made from red chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, salt, and sugar. This special jalaperio variety grows 2-3 feet tall and matures to crimson red to develop red hot heat for homemade sriracha. Red jalaperios are hotter than green with a higher level of capsaicin, the heat range can hit 8000 Scoville units. Use a little or use a lot of this pepper to give hot sauce the earthy taste and heat level of this pepper you are looking for.
