El Yucateco Chile Habanero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Yucateco Chile Habanero is a brand of hot sauce made from habanero peppers. Unlike other hot sauces such as tabasco sauce, El Yucateco hot sauce uses habanero rather than vinegar as its base. El Yucateco Red and Green sauces use artificial coloring producing vibrant colors. Unlike most American sauces, the green sauce is much hotter than the red sauce. The Kutbil-Ik sauce is a natural brown color.
