Veracha by True Made Foods is a plant-based condiment that packs a medium level of heat and a clean formula that's free from added sugars. The vegetable sriracha hot sauce is naturally sweetened and appeals to fans of the iconic hot sauce who are looking to enjoy a better-for-you version of the classic condiment. Veracha is packed with tomatoes, spinach, carrots and butternut squash, offering a paleo-friendly version that has a spicy kick from pureed jalapeños and cayenne pepper. Although the vegetable-filled Veracha is sure to win over the hearts of sriracha fans, True Made Foods notes that it is not quite as spicy, as its unique ingredients help to dampen the heat.
