Calling all hot-sauce lovers! Sriracha—a chili sauce that can be found in tons of U.S. supermarkets and restaurants—has quickly become a household favorite among those who enjoy a little heat with their favorite eats. But is Sriracha vegan?
We have good news for all you chili-sauce devotees: Yes, most Sriracha brands are vegan! Popular ones, such as those from Sky Valley Foods by Organicville and Ninja Squirrel, feature animal-friendly (and gluten-free) ingredients. Sriracha is made by combining sun-ripened chilies with sugar, salt, garlic, vinegar, and other vegan ingredients. Yum!
So go ahead—top off your favorite vegan pizza, tacos, burgers, mac ‘n’ cheese, stir fry, cauliflower wings, or other vegan dishes with a squirt of delicious vegan Sriracha sauce. You can even make vegan peanut butter–Sriracha swirl brownies:
