1. Tacos and Burritos

Let’s start with a classic: tacos and burritos. These Mexican staples are the perfect canvas for your favorite Pulp hot sauces. The tangy, spicy kick of a well-fermented hot sauce complements the savory meat, fresh vegetables, and creamy avocado. Try our Fresno sauce on a carne asada taco or our smoky chipotle on a chicken burrito. The result? A fiesta of flavors that will have you coming back for more.


2. Grilled Meats and BBQ

Summer grilling season just got a whole lot better! Whether you’re a fan of juicy steaks, tender chicken, or succulent ribs, a splash of our fermented hot sauce can transform your BBQ game. The fermentation process adds a depth of flavor that enhances the natural smokiness of grilled meats. For a mouthwatering combo, brush our jalapeño hot sauce on your ribs or mix it into your marinade for an extra layer of deliciousness.


3. Eggs and Breakfast Dishes

Start your day with a kick by adding fermented hot sauce to your breakfast. Drizzle it over scrambled eggs, omelets, or a hearty breakfast burrito. The zesty heat pairs perfectly with the creamy texture of eggs, creating a flavor explosion that wakes up your senses. For a unique twist, try our habanero sauce with your avocado toast. It’s a bold way to begin your morning routine.


4. Pizza

Who says pizza can’t get better? A few drops of our hot sauce can take your favorite pie to new heights. The acidity and spice of the sauce cut through the richness of cheese and the sweetness of tomato sauce, creating a balanced, irresistible bite. Whether you’re topping a classic margherita or a loaded meat lover’s pizza, our fermented hot sauce adds a fiery flair that’s sure to impress.


5. Burgers and Sandwiches

Elevate your burger and sandwich game with a burst of bold flavor. A well-chosen hot sauce can complement the juiciness of the patty and the crunch of fresh veggies. Spread some of our sriracha-inspired sauce on your burger bun or mix it into your mayo for a spicy aioli that packs a punch. For sandwiches, try our tangy green sauce with turkey and avocado for a refreshing yet spicy kick.


6. Seafood

Seafood and hot sauce are a match made in culinary heaven. The bright, tangy notes of fermented hot sauce enhance the delicate flavors of fish, shrimp, and other seafood. Squeeze some lemon juice and drizzle our citrusy hot sauce over grilled shrimp, or add a few drops to your fish tacos for a zesty twist. The combination of fresh seafood and spicy sauce is simply unbeatable.


7. Soups and Stews

Warm up your winter with a bowl of soup or stew elevated by a dash of hot sauce. The fermented flavors blend beautifully into broths and add a complexity that takes your dish to the next level. Whether it’s a hearty chili, a comforting chicken soup, or a spicy seafood stew, a splash of our hot sauce adds depth and heat, making every spoonful a delight.


8. Salads

Who says salads have to be boring? Add some excitement to your greens with a spicy dressing made from our fermented hot sauce. Mix it into your vinaigrette or drizzle it directly over your salad for an unexpected kick. The vibrant flavors pair wonderfully with fresh vegetables, grilled chicken, or even fruits like mango and avocado. It’s a healthy, flavorful way to enjoy your veggies.


9. Ice Cream

Yes, you read that right—ice cream! One of the most surprising and delightful combinations is hot sauce and vanilla ice cream. The creamy sweetness of the ice cream balances the heat and tang of the hot sauce, creating a unique dessert experience. Try our Fresno sauce with a scoop of vanilla for a spicy-sweet treat that will blow your mind.


10. Snacks

Don’t forget about snacks! A few drops of hot sauce can transform your popcorn, chips, or even roasted nuts. The bold flavors make snack time exciting and add a spicy twist that keeps you coming back for more. Mix our hot sauce into your dip, drizzle it over your nachos, or toss it with your roasted chickpeas for a snack that’s anything but ordinary.
