Heat Level: 1/10 - A warm ray of warmth.
Made as a collaborative effort with Alex's older daughter to create a sauce that she could use, our Anaheim sauce has the slightest heat and a whole lot of flavor. Use it as the base of a marinade, or add it right to the pan as you are cooking to intensify the flavor of the sauce while removing almost all of the heat. The perfect addition to any meal.
Heat Level: 1.5/10
This sauce is all about the flavor! It’s amazing (one might even say miraculous) what happens when you combine a few very tasty but not hot peppers together to make a kid-friendly sauce that is perfect for the whole family! Give it a try and see for yourself.

Tangy and bright, with a terrific taste. The heat in this sauce takes a few seconds to appear, and keeps its lightness throughout. No need to hold back with this one - it will play nicely with all your meals. Apply liberally, sit back, relax, and bask in the warmth!

Sometimes you want to add just a gentle kick to your food, and Alex's Ugly Sauce Cayano delivers exactly that. We use a blend of Cayenne and Serrano peppers to give you a super-flavorful sauce with a subtler heat than our Original. Add our Cayano sauce to soups, stews or other sauces, or use it as a marinade on its own. Try our Alex's Ugly Sauce Cayano and see what happens when you keep all the flavor and give it just a bit of heat.
Heat Level: 3/10 - Just a hint of heat.
It's not always about adding a lot of heat. Sometimes you just want a sauce that truly tastes good and uses just a hint of heat to open up the flavors of your foods. Add it to sauteed veggies, salad dressing or cole slaw to brighten up the dishes without bringing the burn, or put it everything you eat for breakfast to start your day in a special way.
Heat level: 5/10

Heat Level: so much/10
Feel the sting of the Scorpion! First the tip of your tongue goes numb, then you feel your lips start to go, then you realize it tastes good and that you want more. Sure it hurts, but isn’t a little (or a lot of) pain worth it to enjoy such an amazing sauce?
Heat Level: 11/10 - Burns sooo much!
Burns and burns and burns! Oh, and then it lingers for a while and burns some more. We took the eye-popping heat of Ghost peppers, and added just enough Habanero and Cayenne to fill out the heat profile and add a bit of complexity.
Heat Level: explosive/10
