Peninsula Gold Pepper Sauce is as healthy as it is delicious! It adds a low to medium level heat and a depth of flavor from the onion, garlic, spices, and papaya base. If you’re looking for an all around hot sauce with a difference, this could be your best bet!

If you’ve spent any time hanging out on our website, you probably know by now that hot sauce has health benefits. Peppers contain large amounts of vitamins A, C, E, and folic acid. Because of the high levels of vitamins, peppers may help heal and improve your immune system and increase your metabolic rate by up to 25%. So by consuming hot sauce, you’re already getting a boost, but Peninsula Gold Pepper Sauce takes it one step further. Because its recipe contains papaya, you’re also getting beta carotene. Papayas are also high in papain, a natural enzyme that tenderizes meat and aids in the digestion of proteins. In addition, Peninsula Gold Pepper Sauce is low in fat, salt, and calories and contains no cholesterol. It may be the ideal condiment choice for a delicious, healthy, all natural diet.  

Plus, I’m a pushover for anything that’s made in Florida, and it just so happens that Peninsula Gold Pepper Sauce is made right here under the Florida sunshine! The label makes this hot sauce good for gifts or to remember your visit to Peppers of Key West.

For a healthy party food, why not mix Peninsula Gold Pepper Sauce with humus, chopped green olives, lemon juice, and serve with pita bread for dipping. Or eat it with a bowl of soup for a light summer dinner.

This is a versatile sauce whose flavor options are limited only by your imagination!

Trinidad Moruga Scorpion- What?

Peppers of Key West has found that Chile experts identify Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as world’s hottest!

Experts at New Mexico’s State University’s Chile Pepper Institute have identified the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as the hottest pepper on the planet.

There are super-hot chili varieties. And then there’s the sweat-inducing, tear-generating, mouth-on-fire Trinidad Moruga Scorpion.

With a name like that, it’s not surprising that months of research by the experts at New Mexico’s State University’s Chile Pepper Institute have identified the variety as the new hottest pepper on the planet.

The golf ball-sized pepper scored the highest among a handful of chili breeds reputed to be among the hottest in the world. Its mean heat topped more than 1.2 million units on the Scoville heat scale, while fruits from some individual plants reached 2 million heat units.

“You take a bite. It doesn’t seem so bad, and then it builds and it builds and it builds. So it is quite nasty,” Paul Bosland, a renowned pepper expert and director of the chili institute, said of the pepper’s heat.

Researchers were pushed by hot sauce makers, seed producers and others in the spicy foods industry to establish the average heat levels for super-hot varieties in an effort to quash unscientific claims of which peppers are actually the hottest.

Ring of Fire BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ring of Fire Original Steak Sauce is a Johnny Cash reference, NOT a heat-level reference! Good for so much more than just steak, the (very gentle) kick comes from black pepper and chipotle, and it’s sweetened with fig concentrate and molasses for an earthy sweetness that transcends meat. If you are a purist who thinks the only thing that should go on steak is salt and pepper, this sauce will add a world of difference to baked beans, potatoes, or burgers! Enjoy liberally; after all, it doesn’t “Burn, burn, burn”!

This isn’t your “you-know-who” letter and number sauce. It’s a masterfully crafted stake sauce that compliments the flavor of the meat instead of covering it up like that other stuff does. At Peppers of Key West, we understand why people say that steaks shouldn’t be covered in sauce- it’s not that it’s a sin or anything, but most folks are only exposed two one or two grocery store bought sauces. Well, Ring of Fire Original Steak Sauce is far from that and it might be about time you reconsidered the sauce-less treatment for your steaks.

Ring of Fire BBQ Chicken Pizza

Ingredients:

  • 2 ready-made individual pizza crusts (Like Boboli)
  • 6 tbsp. Ring of Fire Original Steak Sauce
  • ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced and shredded
  • A tomato, sliced very thin
  • Red Onion, thinly sliced about 4 slices

 Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spread steak sauce on each pizza crust. Place a layer of tomato, red onion, and some shredded chicken on each crust.  Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce; 1 tbsp. on each pizza. Top with mozzarella cheese. Put pizzas in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes.

Serves 2 hungry people!
