Barnacle Foods' Habanero Hot Sauce is a new product from a brand on a mission to do right by the oceans, communities and humanity's collective future. One product at a time, the brand is devoted to expanding the emerging kelp farming industry in Alaska and supporting kelp farmers and harvesters.
Three years ago, Barnacle Foods launched its original hot sauce and since then, customers have been asking for more. Habanero Hot Sauce is a balanced, sweet yet savory hot sauce that gets a unique boost from the addition of seaweed. Alaska-grown kelp gives this hot sauce an umami flavor profile, plus nutrients from vitamins and minerals. This ingredient is a favorite one for Barnacle Foods, because it's earth-friendly, requires no inputs to cultivate and enhances ocean chemistry while growing.
