Trader Joe's new Chunky Garlic & Jalapeño Hot Sauce is a versatile hot sauce that you can use on just about anything. The new condiment is made from a base of puréed, brined jalapeños and garlic sourced from Gilory, California – the “Garlic Capital of the World." But unlike an ordinary hot sauce, Trader Joe's new Chunky Garlic & Jalapeño Hot Sauce manages to "strike a balance between its savory, tart, textural, and spicy elements." This means you get a thicker consistency and a steady building of heat. The result? The perfect hot sauce for kicking up the flavor of everything from tacos and nachos to avocado toast.
